Where our recall data comes from
Understanding how Recall Guide collects and presents recall information.
What Recall Guide does
Recall Guide is an independent website that gathers recall notices from official Canadian sources and presents them in a simple, easy-to-read format.
We do not issue recalls. We do not make decisions about which products are recalled. Our role is to help Canadians find and understand public recall information more easily.
All recall notices on this site come from publicly available government sources. We summarize and organize this information, but we do not create or modify the underlying recall details.
Official sources
Recall information on this site is sourced from official Government of Canada recall RSS feeds and publicly available recall notices from Canadian authorities.
We collect recalls from these categories:
- Food recalls (Canadian Food Inspection Agency)
- Consumer product recalls (Health Canada)
- Health product recalls (Health Canada)
- Medical device recalls (Health Canada)
- Vehicle recalls (Transport Canada, when available)
Important: Recall Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Canada. Official recall notices from government agencies remain the authoritative source for all recall information.
How updates work
We check official government feeds regularly throughout the day. When new recalls are published, they are added to our site automatically.
Existing recalls are updated when official information changes. If a recall is removed from official sources or is no longer current, we archive it on our site. Archived recalls remain accessible for reference purposes.
Each recall page includes the date it was first published and when it was last updated. Every page also links directly to the official source so you can verify the information.
How to use Recall Guide
You can browse recalls by category using the navigation at the top of the site. Categories include food, consumer products, health products, medical devices, and vehicles.
Each recall page shows which products are affected, including brand names, product codes, and other identifying information when available. Compare this information to products you own to check if you are affected.
If you want to receive updates about new recalls, you can sign up for email alerts. Alerts can be filtered by category so you only receive notices relevant to you.
Important disclaimer
Recall Guide provides summaries of publicly available recall information for convenience. We make every effort to present accurate information, but errors or delays may occur.
You should always verify recall details using the official source link provided on each recall page. Official government notices are the definitive source for recall information.
Recall Guide does not provide medical, legal, or safety advice. If you have questions about a specific product or your safety, contact the manufacturer or the relevant government agency directly.
