Why don't we have product recalls yet ?
- We used to have a hacky support in France (see this code)
- We have started a project during a 2024 hackathon that would use Search-a-licious to store product recalls (ping AlexGarel on Slack) - Doc
- We're looking for someone or a team to step up so that we can finally ship this important feature.

Product insights
- People are not scanning the barcodes of everything they buy. To get broad coverage of what you bought, and magic moments, we'll probably need receipt acquisition or connexion with retailers. Otherwise, it might just be annoying notifications, and people will get bored.
- Many national systems don't have a proper (optional) barcode field, which is key for us to be able to deliver value. We should start conversations with national authorities whenever this is the case to get better, cleaner data.
