On April 20, 2026, the firm was notified by a French Broad Chocolates team member that there was a labeling error on our tasting notes insert that failed to name a tree nut allergen (walnuts).
The Walnut Fudge bonbon, which contains walnuts, is incorrectly identified in the printed tasting notes included with the product. The Walnut Fudge and Peach Cobbler bonbons are switched in the guide, which means a consumer relying on the printed materials could mistakenly consume a nut-containing piece.
Please see photos of tasting notes and labeling for ease of identifying the product.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
Consumers with a tree nut allergy who have purchased these products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or they may discard the product. Consumers with questions may contact Customer Service at support@frenchbroadchocolates.com or 828.252.4181, between 9am and 5pm EST.
This recall is being made with the knowledge of the Food and Drug Administration.
