This week's recalls: a tasting guide that points to the wrong walnut bonbon, and five more to check for
Check this one first: a tasting guide that points to the wrong bonbon
French Broad Chocolate’s ‘bette’s bake sale’ multi-flavor bonbon assortment, made in Asheville, NC and sold in 6, 12, and 24-piece boxes, ships with a printed tasting guide meant to tell you which bonbon is which. The guide is wrong: it incorrectly identifies which pieces are the Walnut Fudge flavor and which are Peach Cobbler, so someone checking the guide before eating could pick up a walnut bonbon while believing it’s nut-free.
That’s the failure mode that gets past a careful label reader, because the whole point of the guide is to let you skip guessing. FDA rated this Class I, its top severity, and it shipped nationally to 40 states and Washington, D.C. (Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia). The recalled run covers 34 six-piece boxes, 400 five-ounce boxes, and 53 ten-ounce boxes: Batch 260414 best by June 22 or June 29, 2026, and Batch 260417 best by June 30, 2026. If you have any of these boxes, don’t rely on the guide, throw the box out.
Three more US recalls to know

Canada and the UK
Canada (CFIA): Mount Brydges Abattoir brand Debrecziner Sausages, undeclared mustard, Class 2.
UK (FSA): HiPP Organic UK 7+ months Vegetable Lasagne, 190g jar, contains celeriac, a risk for anyone with a celery allergy, and the FSA says it isn’t emphasized on the label the way the rules require.
The pattern this week
The French Broad recall is the one that beats the usual defense: its printed tasting guide, the tool built to help you eat safely, points to the wrong bonbon, so checking the guide doesn’t protect you here. The HiPP case is a milder version of the same problem, celeriac that’s present on the label but not called out with the emphasis it’s supposed to have, easy to skim past even when you’re reading. The rest are the ordinary kind: cashew, milk, soy, sesame, wheat, and mustard simply left off the panel. Your usual habit, read the label every time, still catches those; it just can’t catch a guide that’s wrong on its face.

Not medical advice. Every reaction is different, so follow the emergency action plan you built with your allergist; if you do not have one, that is the ask for your next visit. When a reaction is severe or you are not sure how bad it is, do not delay epinephrine, then call for help.
