Description
RecallGuard turns recalls into alerts for products you actually own. Photograph a pantry shelf, scan a receipt, or add a vehicle VIN to build your inventory. It monitors FDA, USDA, CPSC and NHTSA recalls daily, then alerts you when something may match. showing the official hazard, lot/model details, and source notice. It never guesses when details are uncertain. Family sharing, allergen/child profiles, refund links, and a free tier are included.

Could you build this?
Partial Building the mobile/web UI and calling vision APIs is easy, but continuously aggregating, normalizing, and matching unstructured federal recall data (FDA, USDA, CPSC, NHTSA) against user inventory requires a complex data pipeline.
What it would actually take: The system requires automated scrapers and ingestion pipelines for fragmented government APIs (FDA, USDA, NHTSA, CPSC) that normalize messy lot numbers, model codes, and UPCs. An entity extraction and fuzzy-matching engine (using vector embeddings and lexical search like Elasticsearch) is necessary to accurately match receipts, VINs, or pantry items to specific recall notices without overwhelming users with false positives.
