Plain-English summary

Vosges Haut-Chocolat is recalling 267 units of Caramels et Chocolats. Each retail tube contains four varieties of chocolate bonbons and has a net weight of 3.8 oz. The affected products have lot numbers 269814 and 115811, with a best if enjoyed by date of 04/25/2019.

The recall was initiated because the multi-pack product does not declare wheat on the outer packaging, even though wheat is declared on the inner packaged products. This labeling discrepancy poses a risk to consumers with wheat allergies or celiac disease.

The affected products were distributed to retailers in Illinois and Ohio, as well as through internet sales. Consumers who purchased these products should check their lot numbers and best if enjoyed by dates. If the product matches the description, consumers should stop using it and contact the manufacturer for instructions.
