What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
French Broad Chocolate bette's bake sale, a multi-flavour bonbon assortment sold in 6-piece (2.5 oz), 12-piece (5 oz) and 24-piece (10 oz) boxes, crafted in Asheville, North Carolina, is being recalled. The action covers 34 of the 2.5 oz boxes, 400 of the 5 oz boxes and 53 of the 10 oz boxes.
The stated reason is an undeclared nut allergen, walnut, due to mislabeling. The product's printed tasting guide incorrectly identifies the Walnut Fudge and Peach Cobbler flavour chocolates, so consumers relying on the printed materials could mistakenly consume a nut-containing bonbon. The FDA classified the action as Class I, its most serious classification.
Affected batches include 260414 (best by Jun. 29 2026) and 260417 (best by Jun. 30 2026), with the full list in the recall notice. The product was shipped to a large number of states including Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.
People with a tree nut allergy or sensitivity should not eat the product and should return it to the place of purchase. Anyone who has eaten it and has an allergic reaction should seek medical advice.
