Paw Multiverse pet food recalls

Ask in plain language about a brand, product, barcode, lot code, country or reason ("Has Purina been recalled in the UK?", "salmonella recalls in France in 2025"). Returns a short answer written only from the matching official notices, with numbered sources (URL, date, country, brand, product, reason, lot codes, barcodes, official notice). Coverage is the US, UK, Canada and France. A question with no match is not evidence that a product is safe; say so.

Given the barcode printed on a bag, tin or pouch of pet food (EAN, UPC or GTIN), return every recall notice held against that barcode across all of the registers this record covers, in one answer. Also returns how much of each country register is held, so that finding nothing can be reported honestly. IMPORTANT: no match does NOT mean the product is safe. It means no authority whose register is listed here has published a recall carrying that barcode in what has been read so far. Say that, and do not translate it into a reassurance. Many recalls are announced by lot or best-before date rather than by barcode, so a matching bag can still be affected; when a match is returned, check the lot and best-before codes on the notice against the ones on the bag before drawing a conclusion.

Return the products that appear in more than one country register, matched on barcode: the same item recalled by two or more authorities. This view exists nowhere else, including at the authorities themselves, each of which publishes only its own country. Use it to answer whether a recall in one country has a counterpart elsewhere. A product appearing in only one country here has not been shown to be safe in the others; it has only not been matched.

Return one entry from the record in full: what the authority published, the firm, the product, the reason given, the lot and best-before codes where they were published, and every dated version held, so that a change the authority made to its own notice is visible. Also returns whether the entry is still listed on the authority site or has been removed from it, and the date it was last seen. Identify the entry either by its id (the "source:key" string returned by the other tools) or by source and key separately.

Return every official register this record reads, with the authority that publishes it, its licence, how many entries are held from it, how often it is read, and the last time it was read without error. Use this before quoting the record to establish how current it is, and to tell someone which countries are covered and which are not. A country that is not listed here is not covered, and nothing should be inferred about it.

Keyword search over every recall held, without any AI writing. Returns up to 20 matching notices with their permanent URLs and key facts, newest and best matches first. Filter by country (us, gb, ca, fr) and year.
