Who uses this data

Recall response & retail compliance teams - know within hours when a product you stock is recalled; match batch codes against your inventory (use product-level output)
Allergen-safety apps & services - a live feed of undeclared-allergen alerts (milk, peanuts, gluten, sesame...) to push to allergic users
Insurers & risk platforms - product recall events as structured triggers for underwriting and claims intelligence
Food manufacturers & suppliers - watch competitors' and your own supply chain's recall history
Food-safety journalists & researchers - the full alert archive, filterable by type, allergen, and keyword

Alert type cheat sheet

Code	Type	What it means
AA	Allergy Alert	A product contains an allergen not declared on the label (milk, nuts, egg, gluten, sesame...) - recalled for allergic consumers
PRIN	Product Recall Information Notice	A safety recall: contamination (e.g. Salmonella, Listeria), foreign bodies (plastic, metal), or unsafe mislabelling
FAFA	Food Alert For Action	The serious one - an incident where the FSA asks local authorities to take enforcement action (illegal products, widespread contamination)

The FSA publishes roughly 3 alerts per week (~160/year), so the default 30-day window returns ~10-15 alerts.

What you get

One record per alert (default), with affected products as a nested list:

Field	Example
`alertId`	FSA-PRIN-34-2026
`typeLabel`	Product Recall Information Notice
`title`	Capri Sun UK recalls specific batches of Capri-Sun Orange 10 pack...
`publishedDate`	2026-07-11
`allergens`	["Cashew", "Nuts"]
`products`	[{ productName, packSize, batches: [{ batchCode, bestBefore }] }]
`businesses`	["Capri Sun UK"]
`riskStatement`	The product may be unsafe to consume because...
`consumerAdvice`	Do not eat it. Return it to where you bought it...
`alertUrl`	Link to the official FSA alert page

Set granularity to product to get one flattened record per affected product (productName, packSize, batchCodes, bestBefore, useBy) - ideal for joining against stock or inventory lists.

Typical usage

Weekly recall monitor: keep the defaults and schedule the actor weekly - pipe new alerts to Slack or email via Apify integrations
Allergen watch: set alertTypes to AA and allergens to e.g. ["milk", "peanuts"]
Brand / retailer watch: put the brand or retailer name in keywords
Inventory matching: set granularity to product and match batchCodes against your stock system
Historical research: set daysBack up to 3650 - the archive goes back to 2016

Companion actor

Recalls tell you what products went wrong; hygiene ratings tell you which businesses are failing. Pair this with the UK Food Hygiene Failures Monitor - it tracks restaurants and food businesses scoring 0-2 on FSA hygiene inspections, the business-level distress signal to this actor's product-level one.

Export & integrations

Results land in an Apify dataset - export CSV, Excel, JSON, or connect Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, and webhooks via Apify integrations.

Data source & licence

Data comes from the Food Standards Agency food alerts API and is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. This actor is not affiliated with the FSA. Alerts are official public safety notices.

Need something more custom? Recall alerts cross-referenced with hygiene ratings, retailer stocklists, or company data, enriched contact details for recalling businesses, or a fully managed monitoring pipeline - message me via my Apify profile and I'll build it.
