The cool part of this is it seems like there's a bunch of API's on here. Perhaps that means I can submit pull-requests to get features that perhaps previously that government would not have had resources to develop.

A good example, there's a recall API: https://github.com/GSA/recalls_api

this is cool, I want to use it... I have an eCommerce website where I sell food. It would be cool if I could be proactive in pulling items from my product catalog. The issue is there is no UPC in the API, so there's no easy way to correlate my products to recalled products. A cursory look at the source code shows me the source:

http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/ContactFDA/StayInformed/RSSFeeds...

if you open that up, a lot of the items have the UPC codes in there. This gives me the ability to parse the details, and add the fields I need.
