French Product Recalls (RappelConso) – Barcode Check & Alerts

Every product recall in France (about 19,000 since 2021, and around 250 new ones each month), from the government's official RappelConso feed, updated every day. Food, cosmetics, toys, appliances and cars are all covered.

• Recalls: search by keyword, category, hazard, allergen, brand, retailer, department or date, with every detail cleaned up and structured.
• Barcode check: paste your catalogue, an order or a shopping list of EAN/GTIN barcodes and get every recall that matches, with the affected lots and dates.
• Alerts: schedule it and get only new or updated recalls since the last run, by email, Slack or webhook.
• Statistics: recalls by category, hazard, allergen, brand, retailer, department, month or year.

Every recall includes the elements below. Values are in English where the source uses a fixed vocabulary.

• Barcodes and lots: lot numbers, use-by or best-before dates.
• Hazard type: Listeria, Salmonella, undeclared allergens, foreign bodies, injury, fire…
• Allergens, when a recall is for an undeclared allergen.
• Where it was sold: departments covered and retail chains (Carrefour, E.Leclerc, Lidl…).
• What to do: stop eating, return to store. What you get back: refund, exchange.
• Photos, the official recall page and the store poster (PDF).

$2 per 1,000 recalls · $0.10 per 1,000 barcodes checked.

Good to know

• Source: RappelConso open data on data.economie.gouv.fr, Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0. It includes EU Safety Gate alerts relayed in France (mostly cars), which have fewer details.
• Texts (product names, reasons, health advice) are in French, as published. Hazard types, allergens, retailers, categories, actions and storage are derived from them in English.
• Retailers and allergens are recognised from free text: about 9 in 10 allergen recalls name the allergen, and the main chains are recognised. "All retailers" means the recall covers every store.
• Status is "ended" once the recall's end date has passed. Without an end date, a recall stays "ongoing".
• Barcodes: recalls without a barcode (cars, loose products) can't be found by barcode check; use keywords or brands instead.

FAQ

Can I use it through the API, Make, Zapier or Google Sheets?

Yes. Every run can be started and read through the Apify API (JavaScript and Python clients, CLI, MCP), and Apify integrations connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks and more.

Is it legal to use this data?

The Actor only reads public or official open data and doesn't log in anywhere. Check the source's licence and your local rules (for example GDPR when data concerns people) for your use case; if in doubt, ask a lawyer.
