Pet owners are being alerted to a recall of Oma's Pride Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe dog food following reports of at least three illnesses potentially linked to the product. The recall impacts 639 bags of the frozen raw dog food, which was distributed across 11 states between February 12 and May 15.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was notified by a consumer complaint, which led to the agency testing a sample of the product. The sample tested positive for Salmonella, prompting Oma's Pride to initiate a voluntary recall. The company is investigating the cause of the contamination.
The affected product is sold in six-pound bags and is identifiable by lot number BB012729. It was manufactured on January 27, 2026, and has a best-by date of January 27, 2029. The SKU number is F-WOOFC-6 and the UPC is 8 7938400145 9. Only this specific lot of the chicken recipe is included in the recall; no other Oma's Pride products, sizes, or lots are affected.
Salmonella and E. coli can cause illness in both pets and humans. Symptoms in dogs can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, fever, and loss of appetite. For humans, exposure can occur through handling contaminated food or contaminated surfaces. Symptoms in people may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. The FDA warns that more severe complications can also arise.
The states where the recalled product was distributed are Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Oma's Pride is based in Avon, Connecticut.
Consumers are advised to safely dispose of the recalled food and contact Oma's Pride for a refund. They should also thoroughly clean and sanitize any bowls, utensils, or surfaces that came into contact with the product. The company advises against relying on visual or olfactory checks, as Salmonella contamination is not always detectable by sight or smell.
This recall is one of several recent pet food safety alerts in the United States involving contamination concerns with various products. In May, Albright's Raw Pet Food recalled a single lot of its Chicken Recipe for Dogs after a sample also tested positive for Salmonella.
