Food recalls are public information, but they're almost impossible to

use. They're scattered across federal databases, written for regulators,

and by the time one reaches the news the food is already in your kitchen.

Food Flagger closes that gap. Scan a barcode and get an answer in a

second, checked against FDA and USDA recall notices refreshed daily.

For produce and meat — which rarely carry a usable barcode — search by

brand or food instead. Enter a ZIP and see what's been pulled from the

shelves at the stores you actually shop at. Save what you scan, and get

alerted if it's recalled later.

It answers in four flags rather than yes or no, because most recalls

affect specific lot codes rather than every package ever made. And a

green flag says "no known recall" — never "safe" — because those are

not the same thing, and an app that blurs them is worse than no app.

CHECK ANY FOOD

• Scan a barcode with your camera — an answer in about a second

• Type the barcode instead when a label is creased or the light is bad

• Search by brand or food for produce, meat, and anything without a

barcode — "Taylor Farms," "ground beef," "romaine"

• Four flags, not yes or no — red recalled, yellow check your package,

orange possible match, green nothing found

• When only certain lots are affected, it shows you the exact lot code

and best-by date printed on your package

• Every result links to the official FDA or USDA notice

KNOW YOUR STORE

• Enter a ZIP code and see the grocery chains near you

• See exactly which products have been recalled at each one, named —

not just "a recall," but "Simply Nature Spinach Bites, 12 oz"

• Star the stores you actually shop at to pin them to the top

• Works on a ZIP alone, because GPS is unreliable inside a supermarket

DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT

• Everything you scan is saved to your pantry automatically

• Your pantry is rechecked against new recalls every time you open it —

something clean last week may not be this week

• Push alerts for new recalls, scoped how you want: only your favorite

stores, only your area, only states you pick, or everything

• Class I and Class II recalls only, so alerts stay meaningful

BUILT PROPERLY

• Three federal sources: FDA enforcement reports, FDA recall

announcements, and USDA FSIS meat and poultry — refreshed daily

• No account, no email, no password, nothing to sign up for

• No ads, no analytics, no tracking, nothing sold to anyone

• Seven color themes, including a high-contrast mode that meets WCAG AAA

• Every alert carries an icon and a word, never color alone

• Works on iPhone, Android, and desktop — add it to your Home Screen

and it runs like a regular app

• Free
