7 Sep
Summary
- Oma's Pride frozen dog food recalled due to salmonella.
- The recall affects a specific lot distributed in eleven states.
- Both pets and humans can fall ill from salmonella exposure.
Oma's Pride is voluntarily recalling its Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, a frozen raw dog food, after salmonella was detected by the FDA. This recall, specifically for lot BB012729, was prompted by a consumer complaint that led to FDA testing. The affected product was distributed frozen to retail stores, wholesalers, and directly to consumers online in eleven states.
Distribution reached customers in Kentucky, Arizona, California, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Salmonella can cause illness in both pets and humans. Symptoms for people include nausea, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea, often resulting from handling contaminated food or surfaces. Pets may exhibit lethargy, vomiting, fever, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
The company is actively investigating the origin of the contamination. Oma's Pride advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled product and dispose of it safely. They recommend thorough cleaning of any surfaces or bowls that contacted the food. Refunds are available by contacting Oma's Pride directly via phone or email. Individuals experiencing symptoms after handling the product should consult a healthcare provider, and pets showing signs of illness should see a veterinarian.
