On April 20, the firm was notified by a French Broad Chocolates employee that there was a labeling error on the 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.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
