How this report is made

We read five official registers every 30 minutes: the US FDA (two lists), the UK Food Standards Agency, Canada's recalls and safety alerts, and France's RappelConso. We count notices, not products: one notice can cover many products and lots. Horse and farm animal products are left out. The reason is sorted from the wording of each notice; "Other or not stated" means the notice gave no reason we could sort.

We have read the registers continuously since September 2026. Earlier notices are those the registers still listed then, so counts for earlier periods can be less complete, and the comparison with 2025 should be read with that in mind.
