FDA Recalls & Safety Alerts (openFDA)

Pull FDA food, drug and medical-device recall enforcement records from the official openFDA APIs. Each record includes the recall number, product description, reason, classification (I / II / III), status, recalling firm, distribution pattern, report and termination dates, useful openFDA identifiers (NDC, brand/generic name, etc. when present), and a detail URL.

Useful for compliance teams, retailers, pharmacies, importers, insurers, journalists and safety monitors who need a clean, filterable feed of recent FDA recalls.

Why this Actor

Official data only: openFDA enforcement endpoints (/food/enforcement.json, /drug/enforcement.json, /device/enforcement.json). Public US government data — no login and no key required for modest use.
Filters that matter: product type (food / drug / device / all), classification, status, free-text keyword, lookback days or an explicit date range.
Normalized output: camelCase fields ready for pipelines, plus openfda identifiers for product matching.
Cheap and predictable: pay per recall record returned. Runs are small (256 MB).

Input example

{
  "productType": "all",
  "lookbackDays": 30,
  "classification": ["I", "II"],
  "keyword": "Listeria",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Output example (truncated)

{
  "recallNumber": "H-0629-2025",
  "productType": "Food",
  "productDescription": "…",
  "reason": "Potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes",
  "classification": "Class I",
  "status": "Terminated",
  "recallingFirm": "Middlefield Original Cheese Cooperative",
  "distribution": "…",
  "reportDate": "2025-10-01",
  "terminationDate": "2025-10-01",
  "openfda": null,
  "detailUrl": "https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/index.cfm?Event=…"
}

Pricing

Pay per event: one recall-record event per recall returned (planned $0.002 / record = $2 / 1,000). The synthetic apify-actor-start event is kept. Set maxItems or a spending limit to control cost.

Data source, freshness and rate limits

Source: openFDA Drug / Device / Food Enforcement APIs.
Dates use the FDA report_date field (when the recall appears in the Enforcement Report).
Rate limits (no API key): about 240 requests/minute and 120,000 requests/day. This Actor pages at ≤100 results per request with a short delay between pages, which stays well under those limits for typical runs. Heavy scheduled use may need an openFDA API key.
openFDA data can lag the FDA Enforcement Report by a short period and may be incomplete. Always treat results as unvalidated.
