French Broad Chocolates PBC’s Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection
A popular gourmet chocolate product sold across the United States is being recalled after a labeling error failed to disclose the presence of walnuts, according to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall involves French Broad Chocolates PBC’s Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection, which was distributed in 6, 12, and 24-piece boxes. The FDA says the products may contain undeclared walnuts, a major allergen that can trigger severe or even life-threatening reactions in some people.
