The recalls involve different hazards and different products, but both notices advise consumers to stop using the affected food. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, three illnesses in dogs have been reported in connection with the Oma’s Pride product, while no illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with the Fromm recall.

Oma’s Pride Recalls 639 Bags After Salmonella Finding

Oma’s Pride, based in Avon, Connecticut, is voluntarily recalling 639 six-pound bags of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe from lot BB012729. The frozen raw dog food has a manufacturing date of January 27, 2026, and a best-by date of January 27, 2029.

According to the FDA, the recall followed a consumer complaint. The agency collected and analyzed a sample of the product, which tested positive for Salmonella. Three illnesses in dogs have been reported in association with the complaint, and the company is continuing to investigate the source and root cause of the contamination.

The recalled product was distributed to retail and wholesale accounts and directly to consumers through online orders. Shipments went to Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia between February 12 and May 15, 2026.

The affected food was sold in a six-pound gusseted stand-up pouch containing 12 individually wrapped, eight-ounce vacuum-sealed portions. Its SKU is F-WOOFC-6 and its UPC is 8 7938400145 9. No other Oma’s Pride products, sizes or lots are affected.

Salmonella can make animals ill and can also pose a risk to people handling contaminated pet food. The FDA notice says infected dogs may show lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, reduced appetite or abdominal pain. Consumers are being advised to stop feeding the recalled food, dispose of it safely and clean bowls, storage containers and utensils that came into contact with it.

Fromm Recalls Canned Dog Food Over Potential Metal Contamination

Fromm Family Foods of Mequon, Wisconsin, is recalling 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food.

According to Fromm’s recall announcement published by the FDA on August 21, the action followed complaints involving metal contamination. The company said it identified the error and put corrective actions in place. No illnesses or injuries linked to the affected products had been reported at the time of the notice.

The Turkey Pâté product is sold in 12.2-ounce cans under UPC 072705118700, lot code EP2A3306 551006 and a best-by date of March 2029. Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté is sold in 12.5-ounce cans under UPC 072705132324, lot code EP2A3306 551029 and the same best-by date.
