FSIS Foreign Establishment Eligibility Monitor

Collect foreign establishment lists from the official USDA FSIS catalogue. Includes meat, poultry and separate egg-product documents. No source API key, proxy or AI service is required.

Input

Example: {"fsisCountries":["United Kingdom","Mexico","Canada"],"establishmentNumbers":[],"maxDocuments":40,"maxRecords":1000,"mode":"snapshot","query":""}.

fsisCountries uses exact English country names from the catalogue. Empty means all published documents. A country selection includes its separate egg-product list. establishmentNumbers is an optional list of exact official numbers; preserve spaces and leading zeros. query is a literal case-insensitive phrase in the establishment name.

maxDocuments (1-40) and maxRecords (1-1000 per document) are safety limits. The run fails instead of silently truncating a selected document. A failed run does not save new history. Unsupported layouts, invalid dates and unexpected source content fail the run.

Results

One row per establishment per source document. Stable IDs combine document URL and official establishment number, so egg-product and meat lists are never conflated. Dates are listedAt, delistedAt and relistedAt. Missing dates remain null; sourceDates preserves the original notation. Dates are interpreted month/day/year; repeated slashes are normalized and two-digit years use 1950-2049. A hyphenated date uses the same month/day ordering. These source-format assumptions are explicit and original values remain available.

countryEligibleProducts and countryNotes describe the country-level scope published on the catalogue page. They are NOT permissions for every listed plant. Where a PDF explicitly divides establishments into product groups, establishmentEligibleProducts preserves the group heading, establishmentProductScopeOriginal preserves its original wording, and establishmentScopeNotes preserves the accompanying conditions. productScope is establishment_section for these rows; otherwise it is country_only and establishmentEligibleProducts is null. documentNotes preserves source notices. No product categories are inferred from a company's name. shipmentEligibilityDetermined is always false. sourcePage, sourceUrl, documentDate, license and attribution support verification.

Change tracking

Use a separate named stateStoreId for each recurring task. Start with snapshot, then run changes sequentially with the same filters. The first changes run establishes a baseline. Rows are saved as seen only after delivery within the spending limit. A document-date or page-number change alone does not count as an establishment change. Absence from a later list never means delisting: use the explicit source delistedAt/relistedAt fields and consult the document. A keyword-filtered empty result is not proof that a supplier is absent from the full source.

Limits

This is a structured export of published FSIS facts, not legal advice, a safety certification or shipment clearance. Country eligibility, product restrictions and other requirements must be checked separately. Source PDFs can contain typographic errors and delayed updates; keep their dates and verify important decisions against FSIS. Availability checks over a short period do not guarantee future source stability.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.01 per Actor start + $2 per 1,000 delivered records ($0.002 each). A run returning 100 records costs $0.21; a run returning 10 costs $0.03; a run returning no records may incur the $0.01 start fee. No monthly rental. Platform usage is intended to be included.
