Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Product Recalls tool:
- Ask Claude: "Search for recent FDA recalls for [product or brand name]"
- Claude returns any matching recalls with reason, classification, and affected lots
- Ask: "Is this a Class I recall? What does that mean for products already in circulation?"
- Ask: "What specific lot numbers are affected and how do I identify them?"
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Product Recalls tool
Search for any FDA food recalls in the last 6 months involving listeria contamination in deli meats. What products are affected, which brands, and what action is required for recalled products?
Tips
- Ask about the recall class — Class I indicates a reasonable probability of serious health consequences
- Check lot numbers explicitly if you have a specific product — not all units of a product are necessarily recalled
- Ask Claude to tell you the recall initiation date to understand how recently the issue was identified
