Sean K Reynolds stated that deity specific spells were only intended to be cast by worshipers of that particular faith. That seems straightforward enough, but what if those spells were in a wand, scroll or potion? Could anyone use them? Could a Cleric of Calistria use a wand of Fallback Strategy for example, or would it require a UMD check?
What is the official PFS ruling on deity specific spells?
A wand or a scroll would require a UMD because it's not on the caster's spell list.
The potion, I wager, is consumed as normal.

If you are referring to spells from Inner Sea Gods, this directly conflicts with the rules as written.
Many of the spells in this chapter originated with the faithful of a particular deity and are more common among the worshipers of that god. Such spells are denoted with the god's name in parentheses after the spell's name. Worshipers of the spell's associated deity always treat the spell as common, and need not research the spell in order to prepare or learn it. Despite this, all the spells in this chapter are available to members of other faiths, though some temples or religious organizations may proscribe the use of specific spells. Additionally, arcane spellcasters have unlocked the secrets of casting particular spells.
The additional resources do not specify that only spellcasters who worship the god whose name is mentioned in a spell entry get the spell, so the above text would be the official ruling on deity specific spells.
Remember, Sean K Reynolds no longer works for Paizo, and as such RAW take president over anything he says.

I'm dotting this so I can reference it again in the future, and also just to get another confirmation (since Inner Sea Gods has been out for a few months now).
The spell Channel Vigor has the name "Irori" in parentheses next to it. Can my Warpriest of Gorum cast it?
