Oma’s Pride Recalls Frozen Raw Dog Food After FDA Salmonella Finding Linked to Canine Illnesses

Connecticut-based pet food manufacturer Oma’s Pride has recalled 639 bags of raw frozen dog food after Food and Drug Administration testing confirmed salmonella contamination linked to three canine illnesses.

The recall applies specifically to one lot of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe sold in six-pound gusseted stand-up pouches containing 12 individually wrapped, eight-ounce vacuum-sealed portions. According to FDA enforcement documentation, the affected lot carries lot code 012726, UPC 8 50042 41108 5, a manufacturing date of Jan. 27, 2026, and a best-by date of Jan. 27, 2029.

The recalled lot of dog food was distributed to retailers and wholesalers in 11 states: Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as directly to consumers through online orders. The products were distributed between Feb. 12 and May 15 of this year.

While physical retail distribution targeted those 11 states, Oma’s Pride ships online orders directly to consumers across 48 states, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. The federal testing was initiated after a consumer complaint prompted the regulatory agency to collect and analyze a product sample, which subsequently tested positive for salmonella bacteria.

Three illnesses in dogs have been reported in connection with the dog food, while no human illnesses have been identified. Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and poses a transmission risk to people handling contaminated pet food, particularly if hands and exposed surfaces are not washed thoroughly after contact.

Infected pets may display symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain, though some animals may carry and spread the bacteria without showing signs of illness. Pet owners observing these symptoms are urged to consult a veterinarian, while humans experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, or fever following contact should seek medical care.

Consumers holding the affected product are instructed to stop feeding it to their pets immediately, dispose of it safely, and sanitize all pet food bowls, measuring utensils, and storage containers. Refund requests and product inquiries are being directed to Oma’s Pride customer service at 1-800-678-6627 or customercare@omaspride.com.

“Oma’s Pride is conducting further investigation to better understand this finding,” the company said. “The health and safety of pets and the people who care for them is our highest priority. We are proud of the food we make, and we remain committed to producing high-quality, biologically appropriate pet food. We will continue to update our customers as more information becomes available.”

According to official notice details on the FDA Safety Recalls portal, the company is continuing its internal root-cause investigation alongside federal regulators to pinpoint the precise source of contamination.
