## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search FDA enforcement recall records by free text for drugs, food, or medical devices. It is ideal for checking whether a specific product, ingredient, brand, or company has been subject to FDA recall actions. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative recall data directly from openFDA.
