FDA Food Recall & Enforcement Alerts (openFDA)
Clean, flat US food-recall records from the official openFDA Food Enforcement API, the dataset the FDA publishes for developers. Filter by product, firm, state, classification (Class I/II/III), and status, and run it on a schedule in changes-only mode to get just the new and updated recalls each run.
Input
- Free-text search, Recalling firm, State, Classifications (I/II/III), Status (Ongoing/Completed/Terminated), Report date on/after.
- Mode:
fullorchanges(new/updated since this account's last run). - openFDA API key: optional, raises the rate limit; not required.
- Max delivered records, API page size.
Output
One row per recall: recallNumber, status, classification,
productDescription, reasonForRecall, recallingFirm, city, state,
country, distributionPattern, productQuantity, voluntaryMandated,
reportDate, recallInitiationDate, terminationDate, changeType, plus
provenance (sourceUrl, retrievedAt, confidence, dataSource).
How it works
openFDA is public domain (CC0), no key required. Every value is copied from the
record; dates are reformatted to ISO (digits unchanged) and absent fields are
null, never invented. sourceUrl is an openFDA query that returns the exact
record, so any row is verifiable. A page that fails to fetch is logged to the
free rejected dataset; a run that matches nothing bills nothing.
Billing
Pay per delivered recall record. Empty result sets and fetch failures cost nothing.
Sample output
A real run of US food-recall records from the official openFDA API:
| class | product | recalling firm | state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class II | CytoDetox, Hydrolyzed Clinoptilol… | Pharmatech LLC | FL |
| Class II | Koi Palace Mini Moon Cake: Single… | Magic Gourmet Trading… | CA |
| Class I | Crema GuateLinda (Guatemalan Styl… | Oasis Brands, Inc | FL |
| Class I | Yellow Onion. Product is labeled… | FreshPoint South Flor… | FL |
Every row carries a sourceUrl to the openFDA record, for example https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-0276-2017%22.
Use cases
- Watch for recalls that affect you: filter by product, firm, or state, and run changes mode on a schedule to get only the new and updated recalls.
- Compliance and food-safety monitoring: pull Class I, II, or III recalls with the reason, distribution pattern, and dates.
- Feed an alerting system: each row carries a recall number and a source URL, so a downstream tool can dedupe and link back.
- Research recall trends: pull a date range and analyze by classification, recalling firm, or state.
FAQ
- Where does the data come from? The official openFDA Food Enforcement API, public domain (CC0). Each row links to an openFDA query that returns the exact record.
- What is changes mode? A scheduled run returns only the recalls that are new or updated since this account's last run, so you are not re-billed for the same record.
- Do I need a key? No. An optional openFDA key raises the rate limit but is not required.
- How am I billed? Per delivered recall record. Empty result sets and fetch failures cost nothing.
