Timeline
| 23 Apr 2026 | Recall initiated by company | |
| 6 May 2026 | Classified by FDA | +13 days |
| 13 May 2026 | Published in enforcement report | +7 days |
Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Undeclared nut allergen (walnut) due to mislabeling. The product's printed tasting guide incorrectly identifies the Walnut Fudge and Peach Cobbler flavor chocolates (bonbons). Consumers relying on the printed materials could mistakenly consume a nut-containing bonbon.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
