Non government site puts FDA and USDA food recalls in one list
Daily Food Recalls: “Daily Food Recalls is an independent service that tracks every current U.S. food recall in one place, in plain language. We pull directly from the official FDA and USDA feeds, merge and de-duplicate them, refresh daily, and link to the government’s official notice on every recall so you can always verify the source.
We are not affiliated with any government agency….Something I didn’t expect when I started: the openFDA recall data runs about five weeks behind the actual recall (that’s the median). So the site also watches FDA’s press releases, which go out the same day.
Who runs this – Will Buntrock is a data professional with over 10 years of experience who cares about food safety. He built Daily Food Recalls to turn scattered federal recall notices into clear, timely information anyone can act on.
Where our data comes from Every recall on this site originates from one of two official U.S. federal sources:
- FDA — the openFDA food enforcement API, covering FDA-regulated foods such as packaged and processed products, produce, and dairy.
- USDA FSIS — the FSIS Recall API, covering meat, poultry, and egg products, which the FDA does not regulate.
We link to the agency’s official notice on every recall page. When our summary and the official notice differ, the official notice is authoritative — always confirm there before acting.”
DHS Taps ResponseAI ICE Skip-Tracing Contractor to Run Self-Deportation Contract
Project Salt Box: “The company, which has a growing ICE record, takes over the contract, worth up to $2.06 billion, from Salus Worldwide Solutions and will handle logistics for people leaving through CBP Home. The Department of Homeland Security has selected ResponseAI Solutions, a small Northern Virginia contractor with a fast-growing ICE business, to run day-to-day operations for the Trump administration’s self-deportation program.
The company takes over from Salus Worldwide Solutions, whose $915 million contract has faced a lawsuit, congressional demands for its cancellation and allegations of favoritism, as Nick Schwellenbach and Dan Friedman have reported extensively for Mother Jones and the Project On Government Oversight (here, here, here and here).
The new contract, worth up to $2.06 billion, puts ResponseAI in charge of contacting people who sign up through the CBP Home app, booking their flights, paying their resettlement stipends and tracking their cases until they leave the country. The contract also reaches into immigration detention centers. ResponseAI will provide enrollment support “at each ICE detention facility” identified in future task orders, including help offering people voluntary departure “beginning at the point of initial apprehension.”…
…Initially, in a pricing request released on Aug. 21, DHS told companies to plan for 110,000 people a year leaving through the program, about 9,167 a month. It also told them where to assume those people would go: 20% each to Colombia and Venezuela, 11% to Honduras, 8% to Nicaragua and 7% to Mexico. The rest would go to Guatemala, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, Brazil or unspecified destinations. Companies were asked to price flights from seven large U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Houston, to those countries’ capitals. A week later, DHS replaced that document and removed the annual figure and country-by-country breakdown. In its place, DHS gave companies a new, broader workload estimate: 15,500 cases a month, split evenly between people in ICE custody and people living outside detention. For bid-pricing purposes, DHS told contractors to assume that 12,307 referred people would depart each month and that 3,193 cases would end without a departure…”
Google Earth added a “Detect change” tool that compares two years of imagery and highlights changes
Indicator: “Google Earth added a “Detect change” tool that compares two years of imagery and highlights changes. Select the tool, draw a polygon around an area, and choose two years to compare. Google Earth visually highlights areas where changes have occurred. The deeper the yellow shading, the more significant the differences. “This tool will really tell us what has changed in the area,” said Juan Francisco Saldarriaga, a senior computational designer who works on Google Earth, in a video demo. “It’s something we investigators and journalists do all the time, and there are plenty of crisp, high-resolution images that could make this genuinely useful for that kind of work,” wrote journalist Ben Heubl on LinkedIn.”
