FDA recall: Ola-Ola pounded yam over undeclared milk allergen—check dates

FDA says Fayus Inc. (doing business as Yusol International Foods) is voluntarily recalling Ola-Ola Pounded Yam because some packages may contain undeclared milk in the form of sodium caseinate, even though milk is not listed on the label.

What changed (and why it matters)

FDA says the problem involves labeling, not a typical contamination issue: the dairy allergen was not disclosed on some recalled packages. FDA notes no illnesses or injuries have been reported to date that are connected to this issue.

Which packages are affected

Check for both identifiers below:

• Expiration dates: November 2028 through May 2029
• Labeling condition: milk is not listed on the package

Who should act immediately

FDA warns that people with a milk allergy or severe milk sensitivity should not eat the affected product, because an allergic reaction could be serious or life-threatening.

What to do now

• Do not consume the recalled item if you have a milk allergy or severe sensitivity and your package matches the criteria above.
• Return it to the place of purchase for an exchange or a warning-sticker labeled replacement—following the recall instructions posted by FDA.

Where it was sold—and what to watch next

FDA says the recall applies to specific lots/packages meeting the expiration-date and labeling criteria. For the exact distribution outlets, readers should use the product-specific identifiers in the FDA recall notice. Texas’s health agency also tracks FDA food recalls, which can help you monitor whether additional retailer guidance or updates appear as the recall moves through stores.
