A dataset from www.datos.gov.co, last updated on 2026-05-18, listing products that have been called for official review by INVIMA, Colombia's national food and drug surveillance institute. It allows citizens and users to check if products they consume or that are marketed in the country are under review for non-compliance with quality, safety, and efficacy standards. The dataset includes columns detailing the reason for the call, the product, the establishment, and the official documentation.

• Track the procedural status of a review case by linking `N° ACTA NORMATIVIDAD`, `OFICIO SOLICITUD`, and `N° OFICIO INGRESO SISTEMICO` (from 9 available columns).

Strengths

• Provides direct access to official regulatory actions from INVIMA, a national authority.
• Includes multiple key procedural identifiers like `N° ACTA` and `N° OFICIO` for traceability.
