Capabilities

fda_recall_check

Find FDA food recall (enforcement) reports whose recalling firm matches a supplier or manufacturer name, in openFDA's food/enforcement data (FDA Enforcement Reports published since 2012). Words like Inc, LLC and Co are ignored; every remaining word must appear in the firm name. For each name returns the total number of matching reports and the 10 most recent: firm, location, product, reason, classification, status, dates and recall number. A match on name alone may be a different firm with a similar name, and no match does not mean a firm or product is safe. Covers FDA-regulated food only (not meat or poultry, which USDA handles).

Discovered
oregon_license_check

Look up Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) licenses by license number or business name in the state's public "CCB Active Licenses" dataset on data.oregon.gov. For each match returns the business name, city, endorsements, and the expiry dates of the license, the bond and the liability insurance on file (with company and amount), days left counted from today in Oregon, and a status: expired, due (within 30 days) or ok. Not found means not on the active list today: the license may be inactive, expired or suspended, or the number or spelling may differ. Does not show complaints or discipline history and does not check what a policy covers. Oregon only. The CCB's own records (https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/) are the official source.
