Scope & honesty notes:
- This is the FDA's consumer-facing safety-alerts index, not the full Enforcement Report. The index does not carry Class I/II/III classification — see
FDA_pet_food_recall_classificationfor the classification framework. - openFDA's
food/enforcementAPI 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. - 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.
