Show HN: Recall Watch – Real-time USDA and FDA recall alerts (apps.apple.com)

Hi HN,

I’m Giovanna, a designer who built Recall Watch, an app that aggregates real-time recall data from the USDA and FDA.

It covers food, pets, household products, medical devices, and supplements — all displayed in a clean, modern interface.

The motivation: government recall websites are outdated and hard to navigate, and there’s no reliable way to receive recall alerts. Most people only hear about them sporadically — through the news or social media — which makes it easy to miss something important.

Features:

• Real-time USDA + FDA recalls

• Risk levels (High / Moderate / Low / Advisory)

• Clean, card-based interface

• Save recalls for later

This is my first app launch — I’d love feedback or thoughts on how to take it further.



hey @gbriano, Pierre from Open Food Facts. This is a topic (defragmentation of recalls worldwide) we're very interested by. Would you be interested in joining the Open Food Facts/Open Products Facts community ? https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Product_Recalls
