Oma's Pride issued a voluntary recall of frozen raw dog food after a consumer complaint and a sample tested positive for salmonella, according to a Food and Drug Administration notice.
The recall covers 639 six pound bags of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe sold between Feb. 12, 2026 and May 15, 2026. The affected lot number is BB012729, UPC 8 7938400145 9, with a best by date of 1/27/2029. The company and the FDA said the product was sold at retailers and directly through the Oma's website in 11 states.
The FDA and the company reported three illnesses linked to the product. On Aug. 17 the agency updated its report to say the illnesses occurred in dogs and that no human illnesses had been reported to date.
Consumers were advised by the company and the FDA to stop using the product immediately and to pull the items from sale or donation. The agencies recommended disposing of the food where pets, children, or wildlife cannot access it, and to thoroughly wash and sanitize bowls, cups, storage containers and any surfaces that contacted the food.
Health guidance included signs of salmonella in people, such as bloody diarrhea, prolonged diarrhea, high fever, severe vomiting, dehydration and stomach cramps, as listed by the notice. The FDA noted pets can carry salmonella without appearing ill and urged pet owners to contact their veterinarian if a dog potentially consumed the recalled food.
Implications And Raw Food Safety Context
Raw commercial pet foods lack the heat treatment that typically kills bacteria, the FDA notice and reporting said. That absence of a cooking step makes raw products a recurring cause of recalls, with listeria and salmonella frequently cited by regulators.
Public health reporting also linked other risks to raw pet food. The University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy reported over a dozen cases of cats contracting H5N1 from commercial products. The coverage noted companies such as Wild Coast Raw have issued multiple recalls after animals became ill and died from contaminated food.
The reporting also referenced a legal outcome in Oregon where a jury awarded more than $800,000 to a man after his cat became ill and died following consumption of raw pet food. Those developments underscore regulators' and veterinarians' repeated advice to handle raw pet foods cautiously and to seek veterinary care promptly when illness is suspected.
