The detail

It does not name yacon, yacon syrup, or Smallanthus sonchifolius. That miss is not a ruling. A plant identity is not a certificate for the bottled syrup.
What the sources say
A row without an A or B source stays insufficient-evidence.
Where you will run into it
- Prebiotic syrups

How to check it yourself
Ask whether the bottle is only yacon juice, and whether any flavour carrier was added.
