Dilettante Mocha Cafe Sriracha Bulk Caramels Recalled for Labeling Inconsistency

Dilettante Chocolates is recalling Mocha Cafe brand Sriracha Bulk Caramels sold at Washington retail locations due to inconsistent dairy allergen labeling on display case placards versus case boxes.

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 a labeling inconsistency on dairy allergen declaration. No illnesses reported. The allergen is declared on the display placard but uses inconsistent terminology ('Dairy' rather than 'Milk' as shown on case boxes), representing a minor labeling error rather than allergen concealment.

Plain-English summary

Dilettante Chocolates Inc is recalling Dilettante Mocha Cafe brand Sriracha Bulk Caramels due to a labeling inconsistency. The perishable caramels, manufactured on June 14, 2023, with a best-by date of November 14, 2023, were sold individually from retail display cases in Washington.

The display case placard lists cream and butter in the ingredients statement but declares 'Contains: Dairy' in its allergen statement. The bulk case boxes sent to retailers contain the correct labeling stating 'Contains: Milk.' This inconsistency between the display placard and case box labeling may cause confusion for consumers with dairy allergies.

The product was distributed to Dilettante Chocolates' retail store locations in Washington.
