Check recent product recalls

A supplier, an ingredient or a product category needs a recall check before it goes on a shelf or into a listing.

Who this is for

Written for Food retailers, wholesalers, distributors, product-safety teams. You bring the commercial question; the published record behind it comes back with the answer, and you can see where each figure came from.

What to bring

Have these to hand before you paste the prompt. Anything you leave out should be asked for rather than guessed at.

The manufacturer, product, ingredient or category
The window to search
Whether you want food, drug or device records

Try this prompt

Paste this where you connected HARBOR Port and replace the bracketed parts. It asks for sources and periods on purpose: that is what makes the answer checkable.

Check recent [food, drug or device] recall records for [manufacturer, product or ingredient] over [window]. Return exact matches and close matches separately, include the classification, the date and a link to the source record, and tell me plainly when a search cannot rule a recall out.

Then ask a narrower question. These are the ones people ask next.

How do the classifications break down across those results.

Which firms appear more than once in this window.

What the answer looks like

The shape below is the point of the workflow. If a response arrives without the periods and the source behind each number, ask for them before you use it.

Exact matches with classification, date and source link
Near matches, kept separate and labelled as near
The search terms used, so the reader can judge the coverage
A statement of what the search cannot rule out

Limits to keep in view

Adverse-event records are reports. A report is not established causation, and a count is not a safety ranking.

Census, BEA and BLS series are published on different calendars and for different periods. Every figure carries the period and geography that were actually returned, not the one that was asked for.

Not answered by this data:

Your revenue, customers, bookings, pipeline or churn
Inventory, capacity, staffing rosters or payroll
Your actual utility bills, fuel spend or supplier quotes
Business credit, insurance premiums, or lending decisions
Permit, licence or certification status
A local forecast, a hazard estimate, or a legal opinion

Where the numbers come from

The answer is built from the published sources below. Each one keeps its own geography, period and definitions, and the answer states which was used.

Scoped to what your plan reaches, and to the sources each workflow names. Reviewing the catalogue first is the cheap way to decide whether this covers your question: source catalogue.
