RecallScout turns your existing supplier list into a live risk dashboard — cross-referenced against 8 regulatory databases, updated every 4 hours, and matched to your supply chain automatically.
THE WORKFLOW
Paste supplier names directly or upload a CSV. No special formatting required — our matching engine handles fuzzy names, abbreviations, and DBA variations automatically.
Supports up to 500 suppliers on Starter, unlimited on Supply Intelligence.
Every supplier is matched against FDA, USDA, CFIA, Health Canada, UK FSA, EU RASFF, EPA, and CPSC records — 28,000+ recall events updated every 4 hours.
Matching runs automatically on upload and re-runs every time a new recall is issued.
When a new recall, warning letter, or import refusal matches a supplier in your network, you're notified immediately — with full context, severity class, and recommended action.
Alerts delivered via email and in-dashboard. Webhook support on Supply Intelligence plan.
WHAT YOU GET
Every recall issued by FDA, USDA, CFIA, Health Canada, UK FSA, and EU RASFF is ingested within 4 hours. RecallScout automatically flags any recall that matches a supplier in your network — so you're never reading a press release and wondering if you're exposed.
Each supplier receives a 0–100 risk score calculated from five weighted factors: recall history, warning letter frequency, import refusal rate, inspection failure rate, and enforcement action recency. Scores update in real time as new regulatory data is published.
Warning letters, import refusals, and inspection failures are the signals that precede a formal recall by days or weeks. RecallScout surfaces them as Crisis Signals — categorised by severity and matched to your supplier network — so your QA team can act before the recall is issued.
Every alert, score change, and supplier match is logged with timestamp, source, and severity. Export your supplier risk report at any time — formatted for retail buyer audits, internal QA reviews, or board-level risk reporting.
DATA SOURCES
RecallScout ingests data directly from official government regulatory sources — no third-party aggregators, no stale data. Every record is sourced, timestamped, and traceable to its origin.

RECALL TIMELINE
FDA, USDA, or other agency publishes the recall notice to their public database.
Our crawler detects the new record, parses it, and adds it to the database within 4 hours of publication.
Every supplier in every active account is cross-referenced against the new recall. Fuzzy matching handles name variations.
Any account with a matching supplier receives an immediate email alert with the recall details, severity class, and recommended next steps.
Affected supplier scores are recalculated and updated in the dashboard. The change is logged in the audit trail.
Without RecallScout, most CPG brands learn about a supplier recall when their retail buyer calls to pull the listing.
Your supplier list is never shared, sold, or used to train models. It is stored encrypted and used exclusively to run your matches.
Every recall record is sourced directly from official government databases. No third-party aggregators. Every record includes its source URL and publication date.
Every alert, match, and score change is logged with timestamp and source. Export your full supplier risk history for retail buyer audits or internal QA reviews.
