FDA Recall: Ola-Ola Pounded Yam Pulled for Undeclared Milk Allergen

Key takeaways: Fayus Inc. (d/b/a Yusol International Foods) is recalling specific lots of Ola-Ola Pounded Yam because the label omits sodium caseinate, a milk-derived allergen. Customers with milk allergies should stop using the product immediately, verify the “Best Before” date, and return the item for a refund or properly labelled replacement.

Why is Ola-Ola Pounded Yam being recalled?

During an internal label audit, Fayus Inc. discovered that certain 64-oz bags did not declare milk as required by U.S. and Canadian allergen laws. Because sodium caseinate comes from milk, people with a milk allergy could suffer a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the affected product.
