Who needs to be extra careful?
If you have a milk allergy or a severe milk sensitivity, treat this as an allergen problem—there isn’t a “safe amount” of milk for someone who must avoid it.
Also, don’t assume a quick taste test can help. FDA is asking consumers not to eat the recalled product, and it may not be labeled clearly for milk.
What product to check
Check your pantry for Ola-Ola Pounded Yam from Faysu Inc., dba Yusol International Foods. FDA identifies the affected product by the expiration-date range you should compare to what’s printed on your package: Nov 2028 through May 2029.
What to do if you have it
- Do not eat it if it matches the FDA expiration-date range and you’re milk-allergic or severely sensitive.
- Isolate the package immediately. Keep it away from other foods so there’s no accidental mix-up.
- Follow the FDA notice instructions for return/exchange/disposal (use the steps provided in the official FDA recall page).
Prevent cross-contact in the kitchen
Allergen recalls are safest when you treat the product like you’re handling a known allergen.
- Keep hands, utensils, and surfaces clean after handling the recalled item.
- Don’t use it for “testing” or for a recipe “just to see.”
- If you opened the package, discard it according to FDA/company instructions and clean nearby prep areas and utensils thoroughly.
If you already ate some
FDA says no illnesses have been reported to date. If you or someone in your household ate the product and you have symptoms related to a milk allergy or sensitivity, follow your usual medical guidance for allergy reactions and consider contacting a healthcare professional for advice. For next steps, use the recall instructions on the FDA notice as your primary reference.
