Salmonella Scare: Dog Food Recalled in 11 States
15 Aug
Summary
- A popular frozen raw dog food product has been recalled.
- Salmonella contamination was confirmed by FDA testing.
- Three illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall.
Oma's Pride has initiated a voluntary recall for a specific lot of its Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe frozen raw dog food. This action was prompted after FDA testing confirmed salmonella contamination following a consumer complaint. The recall covers 639 bags, distributed across 11 states between February and May 2026.
The presence of salmonella poses health risks to both pets and humans. While dogs may fall ill, people can also become infected through handling the contaminated food or surfaces. Three illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. Health officials emphasize that raw pet food can harbor harmful bacteria, and there are no inherent advantages to feeding pets raw diets.
The affected product is the Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, manufactured on January 27, 2026, in 6-pound bags. This recall specifically includes lot number BB012729. Consumers are advised to stop feeding the product to their pets, dispose of it safely, and clean all related feeding areas. Further investigation into the source of contamination is ongoing.
The recalled dog food was distributed in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It was sold through retailers and directly to consumers via online orders. Pet owners should contact Oma's Pride for refund information and monitor their pets for any signs of illness.
