From era to era, Pounded-Yam has been a very popular food with Nigerians, and the traditional way of preparing it is the same all over: and even though there exist some mechanical devices that are designed to do the manual handling and pounding, most Nigerians still prefer the traditional method of boiling the Yam and pounding the edible chunks in a wooden mortar with a wooden pestle. But For ages, (with the traditional preparation method proving difficult to those abroad), Nigerians abroad are contended to have found the alternative way to prepare the food by basically stirring and mixing the "Yam" powder in hot-water, and then finishing the dough in a microwave oven or on a Burner.
But the question is, do you really know what you eat?
The pictures below would blow your mind to know that you have been scammed to have been ignorantly eating something that obviously contains agents responsible for protruding belly, something that you never would have subscribed for, and like the title suggests, there is no Yam in "Pounded-Yam".
But why are Nigerians deceitful in every little thing, even food, why not just honestly declare what the true stuff is? Many thanks to the Irish/UK authorities that have forced them to reveal the true contents, we now know what the dubious "Pounded-Yam" companies have been hiding from their consumers: the contents are now being displayed on improvised label stickers.
The fact is: if the package is deceptive, then the displayed nutritional values are sham: so, how can we be certain that the contents are indeed what are eventually stated?
What is the Nigerian authority doing about this fraudulent activities or is Politics involved, i mean why is NAFDAC allowing this to happen under its watch?

do you have any evidence or proof of virtually every claim you made here?

the ingredients are clearly stated on the pack, I don't understand your grouse.

What proof do you need?
The ingredients had never been stated until this time: by the way, don't you observe that ingredients are stated in external label?

I don't even like pounded yam, either in its true or an adulterated form.

What you are trying to say is you never checked the labels until this time.

i guess you assume nigeria is a jungle.

the ingredients have always been stated on the package.

You still do not seem to understand. The label hasn't always been there, it is now being sticked on the bag to conceal the original deceptive information that says "INGREDIENT: YAM FLOUR", there was NEVER that particular label on the bag.

do you have any picture of the bag which says that?

the label shown was attached, just noticing.

a google search shows a different bag with "a specially formulated flour mix" printed on it.

If you are not familiar with this particular bag, then, you better listen to someone who is.
