French Broad Chocolates PBC issued a voluntary recall of its Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection on April 24, 2026, due to a labeling error that could pose life-threatening risks to consumers with walnut allergies.
The recall affects three sizes of the Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection: 6-piece, 12-piece, and 24-piece boxes. The Walnut Fudge bonbon, which contains walnuts, was incorrectly identified in the printed tasting notes included with the product.
The affected batch numbers are 260414 and 260417. The products were distributed between April 14 and April 20, 2026. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall.
Key details:
- 4 million Americans are affected by tree nut allergies.
- The 6-piece box contains 2.5 ounces of chocolate.
- The 12-piece box weighs 5 ounces.
- The largest box contains 10 ounces of chocolate.
Consumers with a tree nut allergy who purchased these products are urged to return them for a full refund or discard them. The FDA emphasized the importance of following these guidelines to avoid the risk of anaphylaxis from inadvertent walnut consumption.
As of midday, French Broad Chocolates has acknowledged the issue and is cooperating with FDA regulations to ensure consumer safety. The company stated, “The Walnut Fudge bonbon, which contains walnuts, is incorrectly identified in the printed tasting notes included with the product.”
Officials have not confirmed if any further action will be taken regarding this incident. Consumers should remain vigilant about food labels and recalls to protect themselves from potential health hazards.
