The index does **not** carry Class I/II/III classification — see `FDA_pet_food_recall_classification` for the classification framework.\n- openFDA's `food/enforcement` API is **unsuitable** for pet food: a direct query returns only 2 \"dog food\" + 1 \"pet food\" records total. Pet-food recalls are tracked in the Animal & Veterinary safety-alerts index, not the general food enforcement DB.\n- The complete 20-row dataset (all years) is in `recalls/fda-pet-recalls-20260730.json`; every brand/product/reason/date above is a verbatim field from that file.\n","sources":["fda — FDA pet food recall 2026 (from FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals & Safety Alerts index)"],"source":{"authority":"fda","title":"FDA pet food recall 2026 (from FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals & Safety Alerts index)","url":"https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts","retrieved":"","ref":"","doc_type":"official source","source_document":"U.S. FDA — Recalls, Market Withdrawals, and Safety Alerts","verification_file":"recalls/fda-pet-recalls-20260730.json"},"source_document":"U.S. FDA — Recalls, Market Withdrawals, and Safety Alerts","source_file":"recalls/fda-pet-recalls-20260730.json","trust":{"authority_tier":"T1","fidelity":"verbatim","license":null,"display_grade":"A"},"tokens_estimated":320,"generated_at":"2026-07-30","tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
