What this counts
Firms with at least three recalls that also sell food to the federal government, lobby it, or sponsor a political committee.
Exact rule: Value = the firm's recall reports. Federal food contracts = contract obligations from the Department of Agriculture and the Defense Logistics Agency (USAspending; contract years loaded so far); lobbying = spending on Lobbying Disclosure Act reports naming the firm as a client; PAC = it sponsors a federal political committee (FEC). Matched by normalized name and state. From FDA food enforcement reports (openFDA), every report since June 2012; one report per recalled product, so one recall event can cover several. Firms are grouped by name and state. USDA FSIS meat, poultry and egg recalls are not included yet.
