Salmonella contamination triggers recall of over 600 frozen dog food bags

Following a consumer complaint, the FDA examined a sample of Oma’s Pride’s Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe and found salmonella contamination, leading the Connecticut-based maker to recall 639 bags of the frozen product. The affected lot, produced on Jan 27 2026 and marked to be good until Jan 27 2029, is sold in six-pound stand-up pouches containing twelve vacuum-sealed eight-ounce portions. Distribution occurred between Feb. 12 and May 15 across retailers and wholesalers in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as direct online orders.

Three dogs have become ill after consuming the food, showing symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea, fever or vomiting, while no human cases have been reported. The company is conducting a root-cause investigation, advises pet owners to cease feeding the product, discard it safely, clean feeding accessories, and contact Oma’s Pride for reimbursement. Health officials also warn that handling contaminated pet food can pose a risk to people who do not wash their hands thoroughly.
