US food recall record, sealed daily from openFDA

260 recalls across 45 dated seals, 2026-06-23 to 2026-08-08.

11 recalls changed status while we were watching, and 0 changed classification. Both counts are out of the 260 recalls we sealed more than once — a change can only be witnessed in a record we read twice, so that, not the archive total, is the denominator. See every one, with the seals that bracket it.
What this archive is, exactly. Once a day we seal one copy of a single openFDA request: the 100 most recently reported food enforcement records. That is a rolling window, not the enforcement database. A recall that entered and left the window between two of our seals is not here at all, and a recall missing from the newest seal was pushed out by newer reports — it was not withdrawn by FDA. These pages are a record of what openFDA served us on each date. They are not a complete list of food recalls and must not be read as one.
Days we did not seal. 45 seals span 47 calendar days, so these days inside the span have no sealed copy: 2026-07-04, 2026-07-15. A missing day means we did not read the API. It does not mean nothing changed, and a change that landed and was superseded across one of those gaps is not in this archive.
How often the source actually moves. Our 45 fetches returned only 7 distinct payloads — openFDA refreshes this endpoint roughly weekly, so most daily seals record an unchanged file. A change can only be witnessed between two seals that straddle a refresh.

Where the recalls are

24 more states appear in the archive with fewer than 25 recalls each: Florida 24, New Jersey 19, Pennsylvania 19, Wisconsin 18, North Carolina 12, Texas 10, Illinois 6, Arizona 5, Missouri 5, Tennessee 4, Iowa 3, Michigan 3, Minnesota 3, Ohio 3, Massachusetts 2, Oregon 2, Washington 2, Alabama 1, Colorado 1, Louisiana 1. They get no page of their own — a page built on a handful of rows would move by a visible fraction on one seal and could not answer the question it advertises.

8 of 260 recalls carry no usable state — openFDA seals the literal string “N/A” or leaves it blank. Those are counted here and excluded from every state page rather than assigned to a jurisdiction we would be inventing.

By FDA classification

The classification is FDA's own severity judgement, reproduced exactly. We do not re-rank it and we do not translate it into a risk of ours.

Every seal below is one call to the exact request we make. The digest is the first characters of the SHA-256 of the response body, so a reader can see for themselves which days returned the same file.

Get told the day a recall status moves for your suppliers

openFDA serves the current status and nothing else, and the field that marks a termination only shows up once the termination has already happened — so an imminent change is invisible in a single fetch. We seal a dated copy every day and can see the move the day it lands. Leave your email and we'll tell you when a recall in your suppliers changes, with what it said before.
