What this means

French Broad Chocolate Factory's Bette's Bake Sale bonbon assortment contains walnuts that are not listed on the package label. The printed tasting guide inside the box incorrectly identifies which chocolates contain nuts, which could cause someone with a nut allergy to eat a walnut-containing bonbon by mistake.

Check your Bette's Bake Sale box for batch numbers 260414 or 260417 and best-by dates between June 22–30, 2026.
If you have a walnut allergy, do not eat the bonbons and discard the box.
If you have the product and do not have a nut allergy, you may consume it safely; discard it only if you prefer.
Contact French Broad Chocolate Factory or the retailer where you purchased the product with questions.
