Verification + dedup
Each imported record went through Feed America's standard verification pipeline: geocode validation (records >0.8° off ZIP centroid flagged for review), phone normalization (E.164), name + type cross-validation, and dedup against existing records. The dedup pass (Migration 008) cleared 3,171 ghost / placeholder records and the R1 global dedup pass cleared 2,398 net active rows of duplicates.
All imported records carry the original source URL as a "source" attribute, allowing downstream consumers to verify back to the partner registry. AmpleHarvest, Plentiful, Salvation Army, and LA Regional Food Bank are credited as data sources at /contributors.
