Every placard is a verbatim "reason for recall" from the FDA's enforcement-report archive via openFDA — 29,317 records since 2008, deduplicated. The USDA FSIS meat & poultry wing is closed for now — their API turns away robots; it opens the day the pipeline gets through. Class I means a reasonable probability of serious harm (12,867 records), Class II temporary or reversible harm (14,704), Class III unlikely harm (1,745). Enforcement reports publish weeks after news headlines — this is a museum, not an alert system; for live alerts use recalls.gov. The permanent collection is picked by a keyword score, and recalls tied to deaths or serious injury are never exhibited. Snapshot baked 2026-09-01.
