Unofficial community Actor. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This is not medical or regulatory advice.

Track newly reported food, drug, and medical-device recalls from the official openFDA enforcement APIs. The Actor normalizes three datasets into one stable output and remembers what it has already delivered.

What it delivers

  • recall number, category, classification, status, and recalling firm;
  • product description, reason, distribution pattern, and code information;
  • normalized report, initiation, and termination dates;
  • stateful deduplication for scheduled monitors and webhooks.

The optional API key increases openFDA request limits but is not required. searchText is applied to the firm, product, and reason fields after retrieval, so ordinary words work without learning openFDA query syntax.

The default is a repeatable snapshot. Enable onlyNew and keep the same stateKey for a scheduled monitor that emits unseen recall numbers only.

Example input

{
"categories": ["food", "drug", "device"],
"classifications": ["Class I", "Class II"],
"searchText": "battery",
"lookbackDays": 30,
"stateKey": "battery-safety",
"onlyNew": true,
"maxItems": 100
}

Pricing

The live price shown by Apify Store is the source of truth. The Actor is prepared for pay per result after creator payout onboarding; until the Store explicitly displays that model, no separate per-result fee is promised.
