French Broad Chocolates Recalls Bonbon Boxes Over Undeclared Walnuts

The action highlights how a misprinted flavor guide can defeat allergen warnings and endanger people with walnut allergies.

Overview

  • French Broad Chocolates, whose FDA notice posted Friday, recalled Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection for undeclared walnuts that can cause severe allergic reactions.
  • The recall covers 6-, 12-, and 24-piece boxes with batch numbers 260414 and 260417 and best-by dates between June 22 and June 30, 2026.
  • The boxes were sold in Asheville stores and shipped from online orders to roughly 40 states and Washington, D.C., during April 14 to April 20.
  • A team member spotted on April 20 that the printed tasting notes swapped the Walnut Fudge and Peach Cobbler labels, which could mislead buyers into eating a nut-filled bonbon.
  • No illnesses are reported, and customers with tree nut allergies should not eat the candy and may return or discard it, as FDA rules require naming the specific nut on packaged foods.
