## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a human-readable, narrative summary of serious FDA food recalls rather than raw structured recall data. It is ideal for briefings, newsletters, consumer alerts, or agent responses where a digestible paragraph is more useful than a list of raw records. Prefer this over raw FDA data endpoints when the consumer needs synthesis and prioritization, not exhaustive detail.

## Known failure modes

- No recalls in window returns an empty or minimal brief with basedOnChanges: 0
- Invalid 'since' datetime format returns a validation error
- Service temporarily unavailable returns a 5xx error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC payment is not properly attached returns 402
- LLM generation failure may fall back to template-based output (generatedBy: template)

## How this service works

An LLM-written digest of the most serious food recalls in the window.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a 'brief' field with an LLM-written narrative paragraph summarizing the most serious recent FDA food recalls, a 'generatedBy' field indicating whether it was written by an LLM or template, and 'basedOnChanges' indicating how many recall events were analyzed to produce the digest.
