About SafeFood

SafeFood is a product-safety companion built to give households confidence in the items they buy and use every day. The app lets you scan a product’s barcode or search by name and brand to instantly check it against active recalls issued by agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Within seconds, SafeFood returns a clear safety status, the recall source, the date it was issued, and a plain-language summary of the risk so you can decide what to do next.

It is designed for parents, caregivers, home cooks, and anyone who wants to protect their family from contaminated food, faulty electronics, unsafe children’s products, and recalled medications. Every scan is saved to a personal history so you can revisit past checks and watch for new alerts on the products you already own.

SafeFood is built and maintained by an independent product-safety team focused on making recall information fast, accessible, and easy to understand for everyone, so checking a product is as simple as pointing your camera or typing a name.
