Dilettante Mocha Cafe Bulk Toffee Chocolates Incomplete Allergen Declaration Recall

Dilettante Mocha Cafe brand Rheingold Milk Bulk Toffee chocolates are being recalled due to incomplete allergen information on retail display case placards. The placard states 'Contains: Dairy, Nuts' but does not specify which nuts (almonds and pecans) are present in the product.

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 labeling issue with incomplete allergen specificity on retail display placard. No illnesses or injuries reported. The generic 'Contains: Nuts' declaration is technically accurate but fails to specify which nuts (almonds and pecans) are present.

Plain-English summary

Dilettante Chocolates Inc is recalling Dilettante Mocha Cafe brand Rheingold Milk Bulk Toffee candies sold as individual pieces from retail display cases in Washington state. The recall was issued due to an incomplete allergen declaration on the display case placard.

The retail display placard declares 'Contains: Dairy, Nuts' but does not specify which nuts are present. The actual product contains milk, pecans, and almonds as noted in the product's ingredient statement. Consumers with specific tree nut allergies may not realize they are allergic to the specific nuts (almonds and pecans) in the product based on the generic 'Nuts' declaration.

The product was manufactured on June 8, 2023, with a best-by date of November 8, 2023. Bulk toffee boxes sent to retail stores display the correct complete allergen label listing 'Milk, Almond, Pecan.' The recall affects only the display case placard labeling, not the actual product packaging in bulk boxes.

Consumers with nut allergies who purchased this product from display cases should verify the specific nuts present or discard the product. Contact Dilettante Mocha Cafe or visit dilettantemochacafe.com for more information.
