Truffettes de France Settlement (Canada) — $3 CAD per Product

Canadian Settlement · Claims Open

Current Status

Claims are open. The claim deadline is November 4, 2026. The settlement has not been approved yet: the Superior Court of Quebec authorized the case as a class action for settlement purposes only and scheduled the settlement approval hearing for November 3, 2026. No payment date has been announced, and payments will not go out until the court approves the settlement and appeal periods expire. The opt-out and objection deadline, September 5, 2026, has passed.

What Changed Recently?

Chocmod Canada Inc., which sells Truffettes de France truffles in Canada, agreed to a $300,000 CAD national settlement in May 2026 to resolve a proposed class action filed in the Superior Court of Quebec on April 7, 2025. The court then authorized the case for settlement purposes, approved the notice and opened the claim period.

The plaintiffs allege the products were marketed in a misleading way, with the Truffettes de France name and labels suggesting the truffles were made in France when, the plaintiffs claim, they were manufactured in Canada. Chocmod Canada Inc. denies any liability or wrongdoing, and no court has made a finding against it.

Along with the cash fund, Chocmod Canada Inc. agreed, without admitting liability, to stop using the Truffettes de France brand name in Canada and adopt Truffettes à la Française, subject to approval of a trademark application it filed on July 1, 2025. If that trademark is not approved, the company agreed to display "Made in Canada" more prominently on the packaging instead.

Who Qualifies?

The class covers people who live in Canada and bought at least one covered Truffettes de France product from April 7, 2022 to September 5, 2026. A covered product is any product carrying the phrase "Truffettes de France" on its label, including these fourteen named in the notice:

Truffettes de France Truffles Dusted with Cocoa Powder — 1 kg box

Truffettes de France Milk Chocolate Truffles With Hazelnut Pieces — 5.3 oz

Truffettes de France Milk Truffle Assortment — almond and hazelnut pieces, 14 oz

Salted Caramel Cocoa Truffles

Cognac Champagne Truffles

Organic Original Truffles

Organic Caramel Cocoa Truffles

Raspberry Flavoured Cocoa Truffles

The Amazon links point to the U.S. storefront and are there to help identify the product lines. Only purchases made in Canada during the class period count toward a claim, so a box bought today, or bought in the United States, does not qualify. The list in the notice is not exhaustive: any product whose label says "Truffettes de France" is covered.

Officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents and representatives of Chocmod Canada Inc. are excluded, as are people who opted out by September 5, 2026.

How Much Can You Get?

Each approved claim starts at $3 CAD per covered product. Without proof of purchase, a claim is capped at three products, or $9 CAD. With proof of purchase there is no cap on the number of products.

The final amount is not fixed. The $300,000 CAD fund first pays notice, translation and administration costs, taxes and class counsel's fees, which counsel is asking the court to set at $100,000 CAD plus disbursements and taxes. What remains is shared among valid claims. If claims add up to more than that balance, every payment is reduced pro rata. If money is left over, payments rise pro rata by up to 100% of each claim, so a $9 CAD no-receipt claim could reach $18 CAD. The per-claimant figure will not be known until the claim period closes and all claims are reviewed.

Any money still left after claims are paid goes first to Quebec's Fonds d'aide aux actions collectives, whose share the agreement limits to 22% of the residual, and then to Food Secure Canada and Dans la rue. None returns to the company.
