A Sacramento, California food company is broadening a recall of one of its products after determining that package labels left out a critical allergen warning.
Fayus Inc., which operates under the name Yusol International Foods, announced it is expanding its recall of OLA-OLA Pounded Yam to cover product sizes of 2 pounds, 4 pounds, 5 pounds, and 10 pounds.
The reason for the recall is that the product’s labeling failed to disclose the presence of sodium caseinate, a derivative of milk. This omission is a serious concern because people who are allergic to milk could unknowingly consume the product and suffer an allergic reaction.
Shoppers who have purchased any of the affected sizes of OLA-OLA Pounded Yam are encouraged to check their homes for the product, especially if anyone in the household has a known milk allergy or sensitivity.
