How this affects the score

Recalls and Brand Trust

A recall in the past five years removes the "no FDA recall in five years" Brand Trust signal, and a Class I recall removes "no Class I recall ever." Older recalls stay on the record for context but stop weighing on the score. We only subtract Brand Trust points on a verified brand-manufacturer-product match, never a name collision. Hill's Science Diet has no recent matches weighing on its current Brand Trust signal.
