Frequently Asked Questions

How current is the food recall data?

Product Recalls pulls directly from FDA and CPSC databases and reflects recalls as they are posted. Class I recall alerts that represent the highest health risk are typically available within hours of FDA publication.

Can these tools replace a food safety consultant?

These tools accelerate research and help you prepare for audits, but they do not replace a qualified PCQI (Preventive Controls Qualified Individual) or SQF practitioner for official FSMA compliance programs. Use them to support your team's work, not to substitute for it.

Is the nutrition data accurate enough for label submissions?

Nutrition Data pulls from USDA FoodData Central and is suitable for preliminary label development. For final FDA nutrition facts panel submissions, you should validate with certified lab analysis, especially for novel or composite products.
