Scan any barcode and instantly know if that product has been recalled. Food, drugs, devices, consumer products — every database, one search, free.
Point your camera at any barcode — food packaging, medicine boxes, children's toys, appliances — or type the product name or UPC code.
Sentinel checks the product against FDA, USDA FSIS, and CPSC recall databases simultaneously. All three. Every time.
Clear · Recalled · Under investigation. If recalled, you see the exact reason, severity class, affected lot numbers, and what to do next.
Direct links to the official recall notice, return instructions, and refund information. No searching, no news headlines. The source.
Sentinel connects directly to US government recall databases — not news aggregators, not scraped websites. The same data regulators use.
Food products, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, veterinary products. The largest single recall database in the US.
Meat, poultry, and egg products. USDA FSIS covers the protein supply chain that FDA does not — separate database, same Sentinel search.
Non-food consumer products — children's toys, nursery equipment, furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, sporting goods. 15,000+ active recalls.
Reasonable probability that use will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Stop using immediately. Return or discard.
May cause temporary adverse health consequences. Remote probability of serious risk. Check lot numbers and dates — yours may be unaffected.
Product violates FDA labelling or manufacturing regulations but is unlikely to cause harm. Often labelling errors or minor contamination below threshold.
FDA, USDA, or CPSC is investigating a report. No recall issued yet but Sentinel flags products linked to open investigations so you can decide.
Sentinel is powered by Erin — the dedicated recall monitor agent in the ScanGeni Ventures agency matrix. Erin runs continuously, 24/7.
Erin monitors FDA, USDA, and CPSC recall APIs continuously. When a new recall is issued, Erin cross-references it against the ScanGeni product database, generates structured alert records, and triggers Sentinel's push notification pipeline — before any news outlet publishes the story. Erin also feeds allergen alerts into Food Scan Genius as a premium safety feature.
