## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability usda-fsis-recall-public-health-alert-search-cb899425
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up all active FSIS Class I meat or poultry recalls since January 1 2024 that are linked to an outbreak, and show me the recalling firm, product, and reason for each one?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, searchable access to USDA FSIS recall records for meat, poultry, or egg products — particularly when filtering by firm name, classification severity, reason, state distribution, or outbreak linkage. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable recall data with entity resolution, or when building automated food-safety monitoring, compliance workflows, or B2B lead generation targeting firms with active recalls.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when company name spelling doesn't match FSIS records — try partial name fragments
- State filter may return no results if a recall has no distribution state listed
- Date filter (since) returns empty if no recalls fall in the range
- Invalid classification or recall_type values silently return empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 error requiring valid x402 payment
- Large result sets may need pagination via offset parameter

## How this service works

Which food companies have an FSIS meat/poultry/egg recall? Search USDA FSIS recall and public-health-alert records by recalling firm, classification (Class I/II/III or Public Health Alert), reason (allergens, contamination, misbranding), state, active status, outbreak link, or recall date (since). Returns the recalling firm (entity-resolved where possible), classification, reason, product, and dates — a remediation, sanitation, and displacement trigger for food-safety sellers.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of FSIS recall and public health alert records, each including the recalling firm name (entity-resolved where possible), recall classification (Class I/II/III or Public Health Alert), reason for recall, affected products, distribution states, recall and last-modified dates, active status, and outbreak linkage flag.
