French Broad Chocolates has issued a recall for its popular bonbon products after a labeling mistake failed to warn customers about a potential allergen, according to a notice published by the Food and Drug Administration.

The recall affects Bette's Bake Sale Bonbon Collection sold in six-piece, 12-piece, and 24-piece boxes.

Officials say the products may contain undeclared walnuts, which can pose a serious health risk to people with tree nut allergies. The affected items carry batch numbers 260414 and 260417, FoxBusiness reported.

The company warned that "people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to walnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products."

Even a small amount of walnuts can trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals, making accurate labeling critical for safety.

The chocolates were distributed between April 14 and April 20, 2026. They were sold at retail stores in Asheville, North Carolina, and also shipped to customers in several states through online orders.

The products include boxes weighing 2.5 ounces, 5 ounces, and 10 ounces, with best-by dates ranging from June 22 to June 30, 2026.

Mislabeling Prompts Urgent Bonbon Recall

According to the company, the issue was caused by an error in the tasting notes insert included in the packaging.

The Walnut Fudge bonbon, which contains walnuts, was mistakenly labeled as a different flavor.

It was switched with the Peach Cobbler bonbon in the printed guide, meaning customers may not have been aware they were consuming a product with nuts.

According to LGM Corp, the problem was first identified on April 20, when a team member noticed the labeling mistake. As of now, no illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported, but the recall was issued as a precaution to protect consumers.

Customers who have a tree nut allergy are strongly advised not to eat the chocolates. They can return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or throw it away safely.

The company has also set up customer service support to answer questions and help with the recall process.
