Dilettante Espresso Truffles Recall: Incomplete Allergen Labeling on Display

Dilettante Chocolates recalls Mocha Cafe Espresso Bulk Truffles sold at Washington retail locations. The retail display placard's allergen statement declares 'Contains: Dairy' instead of the required 'Contains: Milk.'

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA classified this as a Class III recall. While milk is a common allergen, the allergen is disclosed in the product ingredients statement; the defect is incomplete allergen statement formatting on the display placard. No illnesses have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Dilettante Chocolates Inc is recalling Dilettante Mocha Cafe Espresso Bulk Truffles sold at the firm's retail locations in Washington. The chocolate truffles were sold individually from retail display cases.

The retail display placard declares milk in the ingredients statement but states 'Contains: Dairy' as the allergen warning instead of 'Contains: Milk.' FDA labeling standards require that major allergens be specifically named in the allergen statement.

Consumers who purchased these truffles from a display case should verify the labeling. Those with milk allergies should be aware that the display placard may not clearly identify milk as an allergen. Note that the bulk case boxes containing the product have correct labeling stating 'Contains: Milk.' The affected product was manufactured 6/28/2023 with a best by date of 11/28/23.
