Use cases

Quality and compliance teams: monitor high-risk recalls by class, product, or firm.
Supply-chain teams: identify affected products, quantities, lots, and distribution areas.
Health journalists and researchers: build source-linked recall datasets over time.
Developers: schedule alerts and connect new recall rows to internal workflows.

Limitations

FDA fields vary across product types and older records, so some quantities, dates, locations, codes, or product metadata may be absent. Recall scope and status can change. Verify health, safety, legal, and compliance decisions with the FDA and recalling firm.

Compared to alternatives

Compared with crawlerbros/fda-recalls-scraper, this Actor can run several search expressions across several product types in one job and starts at a lower base result price at publication. Compared with maydit/us-fda-recalls-scraper, it preserves the full FDA product metadata object and supports a low 10-result default for inexpensive monitoring tests. Store pricing and features can change.

FAQ

What do Class I, II, and III mean?

They are FDA risk classifications. Class I is the most serious; read the official record before interpreting a classification for a specific decision.

Can I search by company?

Yes. Use an expression such as recalling_firm:\"Company Name\" in queries.

Why did one product type return no matches?

Food, drug, and device records are separate collections. A term may appear in one collection but not the others.
