Dataset freshness
This page shows the current state of the FDA datasets indexed on this site — when they were last built and checked, how many records are present, and the latest record date. It is an operational reference, not medical advice.

How the pipeline keeps this current
A daily GitHub Actions workflow ingests the latest data from openFDA, recomputes the delta against the previous snapshot, validates the build, and rebuilds the static site. On merge to the main branch, the host's Git integration deploys the update. The build never fetches live data at deploy time, so the published site always reflects the committed datasets.
