The analytics workspace is ready for a verified FDA export

No refusal records are stored in this module, so no charts, totals or trends are shown. The public FDA dashboard offers weekly final-action data from 1 October 2016, while its API requires OII Unified Logon credentials. FDA's separate monthly historical report advertises public period ZIP exports, but direct access from this environment was blocked by FDA's traffic-protection page. This project does not automate login, bypass access controls or infer export fields.

Strict schema gate

Unknown required headers and malformed dates stop the import before any write.

Distinct shipment lines

Multiple charge rows are merged, preventing charge duplication from inflating headline counts.

Evidence-backed reasons

Charges remain unclassified until exact FDA charge-reference text has been reviewed and versioned.

Methodology and limitations

Counts describe observed FDA refusal activity and final actions in the imported file. They are not incidence, prevalence, supplier risk or refusal probability. Import volume and inspection-selection denominators are unavailable.

Food-safety, labeling/registration/other-compliance and unclassified groupings require exact charge-code evidence from the cited FDA reference. No fuzzy text or vague pathogen/pesticide inference is used.
