The UK Food Standards Agency’s food alerts for England, Wales and Northern Ireland: product recalls and withdrawals, allergy alerts and food alerts for action, with the business, the products and batches affected, the action taken and the advice to consumers.

Tools

• uk_food_alerts_search(query?, type?, date_from?, limit?) — searches the alerts, newest first. type is all, recall (product recall information notices), allergy (allergy alerts) or action (food alerts for action). Each hit: alert number, type, title, the business, issue date, the products named, the allergens and the notice link. The service gives no total, so returned is capped by limit; narrow with date_from. Zero matches states what was searched.
• uk_food_alert_get(alert_number) — one alert (such as FSA-AA-53-2026, or an updated notice such as FSA-PRIN-47-2026-update-1): description, risk statement, every product with pack size, batch codes and use-by or best-before wording, the action taken, the consumer advice, other businesses involved and attachment links. An unknown number is found:false.

Data sources

• Food Standards Agency (UK), food alerts open data (Open Government Licence v3): read live per call, nothing stored. Scotland’s alerts are issued by Food Standards Scotland and are not in this list. The FSA hygiene ratings are a different dataset (uk-food-hygiene).

Traps worth knowing: the service has no upper date bound, so only date_from is offered; a record’s type is a list of strings in the search answer and a list of objects in the single-record answer (both are read); updated notices carry an -update-N suffix in their number.
