Fran’s Chocolates, Ltd., based in Seattle, Washington, has announced a recall of 112 units of its Fran’s Pure Bar Almondmilk Chocolate 46% Madagascar Plant-Based product due to the presence of undeclared hazelnuts. The company stated that individuals with hazelnut allergies or sensitivities could face serious or potentially life-threatening reactions if they consume the affected chocolate.
The recalled product was sold at four Fran’s Chocolates retail locations in Seattle and was also available for purchase online through the company’s website between October 9, 2025, and December 15, 2025.
According to the company, there has been one reported allergic reaction associated with consumption of this product. There have been no reports of illness or death related to other products from Fran’s Chocolates.
The contamination occurred after a supplier notified Fran’s Chocolates that their almondmilk chocolate ingredient tested positive for trace amounts of hazelnuts. The supplier indicated that the ingredient was processed on equipment shared with other products containing hazelnuts.
Consumers who purchased the affected chocolate during the specified dates are advised not to eat it and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. For questions regarding this recall, customers can contact Fran’s Chocolates by email at customercare@frans.com or by phone at 1-800-422-3726 during business hours from Monday through Friday.
"This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration," according to Fran's Chocolates.
