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: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.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
None for a claim of one to three products. The online claim form asks for contact details, the number of covered products bought in Canada during the class period, and a signed declaration that the information is true. It does not ask for a Claim ID, Notice ID or PIN from a mailed or emailed notice.To claim four or more products, attach proof of purchase: a store receipt, a bank or credit card statement, or an online order confirmation showing a Truffettes de France purchase. A claim filed without that proof is processed as a no-receipt claim and capped at three products. If the administrator finds a problem with a claim, the claimant has 30 days from its deficiency letter to fix it or ask for reconsideration.
What Is the Deadline?
Claims must be submitted online, or postmarked if mailed, by November 4, 2026. The settlement agreement defines the claims deadline as 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on that date.How Do You Take Action?
File on the official Truffettes de France settlement claim form. Enter your contact details and the number of covered products you bought, attach proof of purchase if claiming more than three, and sign the declaration. A French version of the site and forms is at Règlement Truffettes.Approved payments are sent by e-transfer to the email address on the claim form. Claimants who cannot receive an e-transfer can arrange a cheque through the settlement website's contact page.
What Happens Next?
The Superior Court of Quebec will hold the settlement approval hearing on November 3, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. at the Montreal Courthouse, where it will decide whether the settlement is fair and reasonable and rule on class counsel's fee request. The court can move the hearing; any new date is posted on the settlement website and on class counsel's site. Class members do not need to attend.If the court approves the settlement, payments follow once appeal periods expire. The notice says that can take several months after the hearing. Within twelve months of the settlement taking effect, Chocmod Canada Inc. must report to class counsel on the status of the rebrand or the more prominent "Made in Canada" labelling.

Questions
I bought Truffettes de France truffles in the U.S. Do I qualify?
No. The class is limited to people resident in Canada, and the claim form asks claimants to confirm their purchases were made in Canada. Purchases in the United States or elsewhere are not covered.
Can I still opt out or object?
No. The opt-out and objection deadline was September 5, 2026, and it has passed. Class members who did not opt out are bound by the settlement if the court approves it, whether or not they file a claim.
Does a gift or a bulk warehouse-club box count?
The class definition covers people who purchased a covered product, so the buyer is the person who claims. The notice does not set a different payment for large boxes; the claim counts products, and receipts, bank or credit card statements, or online order confirmations are needed to claim more than three.
Will the truffles change names?
Chocmod Canada Inc. agreed to stop using the Truffettes de France name in Canada and switch to Truffettes à la Française if its trademark application is approved. If it is not, the company agreed to display Made in Canada more prominently on the packaging. Stores may keep selling existing stock with the old label during the transition.
Where does leftover money go?
After valid claims are paid, and after the share owed to Quebec's Fonds d'aide aux actions collectives, remaining money goes to Food Secure Canada and Dans la rue. None returns to Chocmod Canada Inc.
