Ola-Ola Pounded Yam Recalled: FDA Warns of Undeclared Milk Allergen
FDA is warning shoppers to check before you eat: Faysu Inc., doing business as Yusol International Foods, is voluntarily recalling Ola-Ola Pounded Yam because it may contain undeclared milk (milk allergen, in the form of sodium caseinate) that is not listed on the label.
This is an important alert for anyone with a milk allergy, including parents and caregivers choosing snacks or side dishes for family.
Why this recall matters (milk allergy risk)
“Undeclared milk” means the product may include milk ingredients (specifically sodium caseinate) even though they aren’t identified on the packaging. If you or someone you’re feeding has a milk allergy, you should treat this as a don’t serve until verified situation.
What to check at home: recalled product identifiers
Before eating, look for the exact Ola-Ola Pounded Yam details listed in the official FDA recall notice—this is the only way to confirm whether your package matches what FDA is asking people to stop eating.
Do not rely on the product name alone. FDA’s notice includes the specific package information (product identifiers) consumers should use to identify affected items.
If you can’t find the identifiers from FDA on your package, or you’re unsure, play it safe and don’t serve it to anyone with a milk allergy until you’ve checked the FDA guidance.
What to do if you have the product
FDA’s consumer instruction for this recall is straightforward:
- Do not eat the recalled Ola-Ola Pounded Yam if it matches the affected identifiers in the FDA notice.
- Discard or return the product using the handling instructions provided by FDA for this specific recall.
- Keep it away from milk-allergic household members until it’s handled or removed.
If someone already ate it
If someone with a milk allergy already consumed the affected product, FDA recommends taking calm, prompt next steps:
- Consider contacting a healthcare professional for guidance.
- Follow the advice you receive rather than trying to “wait it out” on your own.
If you’re not sure whether the product was part of the recall, verify against the specific identifiers in the FDA notice.
