Batch International Recalls Chocolate Truffles Due to Allergen Labeling

Batch International LLC is recalling assorted chocolate truffles because allergens are listed on an internal insert rather than the exterior box.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves allergen mislabeling where the information is present but not on the exterior, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.

Plain-English summary

Batch International LLC is recalling approximately 100 to 200 boxes of assorted chocolate truffles. The product is packaged in Kraft colored boxes with the Batch PDX sticker and contains 5, 8, 12, 18, 24, or 32 pieces. The truffles are available in 14 flavors, including Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Raspberry, Spicy Passion, and Bull Run Bourbon.

The recall was initiated because allergens such as soy, milk, almond, coconut, hazelnut, and/or wheat are declared on an insert label inside the boxes, rather than on the exterior of the boxes. This labeling placement may prevent consumers from identifying potential allergens before opening the package.

The affected products were distributed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oregon, and Washington. Consumers should check their pantries for these specific boxes and stop consuming the product if they have allergies to the listed ingredients.
