A match is more than a product name.
FoodChecker compares the identifiers supplied by a user with the identifiers and distribution data in a source record.
Identifiers compared
Product and brand names, manufacturer, UPC, lot or batch, establishment number, package size, date range, geographic distribution and named retailers.
No known matching recall found
No current record in the available dataset matched the supplied details. This is not a certification that the product is safe.
Possible match — verification required
Some identifiers match, but required package-level details are missing or inconclusive.
Confirmed match
The required identifiers supplied by the user match the affected criteria in the record.
Regional or category advisory
A broader warning may be relevant even when a specific package cannot be confirmed.
