  We understand and share the concerns of consumers who are affected by food allergies.  Consumers should rely on our package ingredient labels for the most accurate information on that product.  If a product contains or may contain any of the FDA major nine allergens for US labeled products (eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, sesame, or wheat) or Health Canada/CFIA Priority Food Allergens for Canadian labeled products (eggs, milk, mustard, peanuts, crustaceans and molluscs, fish, sesame seeds, soy, sulphites, tree nuts, wheat and triticale, and sources of gluten), it will be clearly listed in the ingredient statement or following that statement for the may contain allergens.  Godiva has procedures in place to address cross-contact of allergens into other products that do not contain the allergen.  Where we have a concern about potential cross contact of an allergen, we will include a may contain statement. 

Wedding and Party Favors

Do not store them in the climate-controlled packaging that they are shipped in as the chocolates are fragile and may absorb an odor from the packing material.
