Instant recall notifications
oAlert — Recalled Products is a free Android app that alerts you immediately when food, medicine, or consumer goods are recalled. It aggregates warnings from multiple official bodies and pushes real-time notifications so users can act quickly.
Key capabilities
- Scan a product barcode (EAN) to verify its safety in seconds.
- Attach personal notes to specific alerts and flag important items for easy sharing.
- View visual summaries—charts and trend data—to understand recall patterns and hazard levels.
- Apply detailed filters to narrow alerts by product category, retailer, severity, recall type, or date.
- Receive continuous monitoring of recall sources so you don’t miss critical updates.
- Keep a local copy of recent data so core features keep working even when you’re offline, improving privacy.
How the scanner helps
The integrated EAN barcode reader gives an instant check of whether a particular item appears in recent recalls, making it handy at the store or at home.
Organizing and sharing alerts
You can annotate individual notices, mark those you want to keep an eye on, and share selected alerts with friends, family, or colleagues directly from the app.
Analytics and offline use
Built-in statistics and graphing tools help you spot trends and recurring hazards. Local caching ensures the app remains functional without a network connection and reduces the amount of data sent over the internet.
