Chocolate bonbons sold across US recalled over undeclared allergen risk

  • French Broad Chocolates PBC has recalled its Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection due to the presence of undeclared walnuts.
  • The recall was prompted by a labeling error where a Walnut Fudge bonbon was incorrectly identified as Peach Cobbler in the product's tasting notes.
  • This mislabeling poses a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction risk for individuals with walnut allergies.
  • The affected chocolates were distributed between April 14 and April 20, 2026, in Asheville, North Carolina, and online to customers in 41 states.
  • Consumers with a tree nut allergy should discard the product or contact the place of purchase for a full refund, although no illnesses have been reported to date.
