The voluntary recall covers 639 bags of Oma’s Pride frozen raw chicken dog food from a single production lot.
AVON, Conn. — Oma’s Pride has voluntarily recalled one lot of its Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe after a Food and Drug Administration sample tested positive for Salmonella, affecting hundreds of bags distributed to retailers, wholesalers and consumers across 11 states.
The recall covers 639 six-pound bags from lot BB012729, according to a company announcement posted by the FDA on Aug. 12. The frozen raw dog food was distributed in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The company said no other Oma’s Pride products, sizes or lots are included in the recall.
The recalled product was manufactured Jan. 27, 2026, and carries a best-by date of Jan. 27, 2029. It was distributed from Feb. 12 through May 15. Each six-pound stand-up pouch contains 12 individually wrapped, eight-ounce vacuum-sealed portions. The affected product carries item number F-WOOFC-6, UPC 8 7938400145 9 and lot number BB012729.
The recall began after the FDA received a consumer complaint and collected a product sample for testing. That sample tested positive for Salmonella, according to the recall notice. The company said it is continuing to investigate the source and root cause of the contamination. Three illnesses have been reported in association with the complaint, though the recall announcement did not provide additional details about those cases.
Salmonella can make animals sick and can also pose a health risk to people who handle contaminated pet food or touch surfaces exposed to it. The FDA notice said infected pets may experience lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some animals may show decreased appetite, fever or abdominal pain. Infected animals that appear healthy can still carry the bacteria and potentially spread it to people or other animals.
People exposed to Salmonella may develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, according to the recall announcement. In some cases, infections can lead to more serious complications. The company and FDA said the risk to people is tied to handling contaminated products or objects that have come into contact with them.
Oma’s Pride, based in Avon, Connecticut, said the affected food was distributed through retail and wholesale accounts as well as directly to consumers through online orders. The product was shipped frozen. The company said it is conducting further testing and investigation as it works to determine how the contamination occurred.
The company said consumers with the affected lot should stop feeding it to pets, dispose of it safely and contact Oma’s Pride regarding a refund. The recall notice also advises cleaning and sanitizing pet food bowls, cups, storage containers and other items that came into contact with the food.
Oma’s Pride described itself as a fourth-generation family-owned business with more than 75 years of food manufacturing experience. The company said it is carrying out the recall voluntarily in coordination with the FDA and will provide additional information if its investigation produces new findings.
The recall remained listed by the FDA as of Friday. No additional Oma’s Pride lots or products had been added to the recall in the agency’s published notice.
