Dilettante Mocha Cafe Praline Truffles Recalled for Imprecise Allergen Labeling

Dilettante Chocolates Inc recalled Dilettante Mocha Cafe brand Praline Bulk Truffles because display placards use general allergen categories (Dairy, Nuts) instead of specific allergen sources (Milk, Almond, Pecan).

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class III recall involving imprecise allergen labeling on common allergens. The display placard fails to specify individual allergen sources (Milk, Almond, Pecan), using general categories (Dairy, Nuts) instead. No reported illnesses. The specific allergens are disclosed in the ingredients statement. Bulk packaging already includes precise labeling.

Plain-English summary

Dilettante Chocolates Inc is recalling Dilettante Mocha Cafe brand Praline Bulk Truffles sold from retail display cases at the firm's retail store locations in Washington. The affected product was manufactured on 6/26/2023 and has a best-by date of 11/26/23.

The display placard for the product lists milk, pecans, and almonds in the ingredients statement, but the allergen declaration on the placard states only 'Contains: Dairy, Nuts' without specifying the individual allergen sources. This imprecise allergen statement may not provide adequate information to consumers with specific allergies to milk, almond, or pecan.

The firm confirms that bulk truffle boxes sent to retail stores contain the correct allergen labeling stating 'Contains: Milk, Almond, Pecan.' The labeling issue is limited to the display placard at the point of sale.

Consumers with known allergies to milk, almonds, or pecans should not consume product purchased individually from the display case with the imprecise allergen statement. Consumers who have purchased affected product should return it to the retailer or dispose of it safely.
