Methodology

Is It Recalled? loads recent FDA food-enforcement records (or demonstration data when configured), maps them into product records, and groups items that share an FDA event id into a single recall page.

Product checking

Automated checks compare only structured identifiers present in the FDA record — such as UPC, lot/batch codes, date ranges, or package size when available. A brand or product name alone never confirms a match.

Outcomes are limited to included, possible match, does not match, or unable to verify. A “does not match” result is not a determination that a product is safe.

What we do not do

• Invent consumer instructions when the FDA record omits them
• Use stock photos or unofficial product imagery
• Provide medical advice or diagnostic claims
