French Broad chocolates recalled

French Broad Chocolates has recalled its Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection after finding some walnut-containing pieces were mislabeled in boxes sold nationwide. (fda.gov) The recall covers 6-piece, 12-piece, and 24-piece boxes with batch numbers 260414 and 260417. French Broad said the products were sold from April 14 through April 20, 2026. (fda.gov) The Asheville, North Carolina, company said a team member discovered on April 20 that the tasting-notes insert had swapped the names of the Walnut Fudge and Peach Cobbler bonbons. That meant customers could mistake a walnut piece for one without walnuts. (fda.gov) (usatoday.com) French Broad said the affected boxes were sold at its retail locations in Asheville and through online orders shipped to 40 states and Washington, D.C. The company announced the recall on April 23, and the Food and Drug Administration posted it on April 24. (fda.gov) The problem is an undeclared tree-nut allergen, not contamination. For people with a walnut allergy, eating the mislabeled bonbon can cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. (fda.gov) French Broad said no illnesses had been reported when it issued the recall. The company told customers to stop eating the chocolates and contact it for a full refund. (fda.gov) Customers can identify the recalled products by the collection name, box size, and the two batch numbers printed on the package. The recall does not apply to other French Broad products listed outside those lots. (fda.gov) For now, the company’s message is simple: check the batch code before serving or gifting the bonbons, and set aside any affected box for a refund. (fda.gov)
