Pet owners have another recall to check for. Oma’s Pride has voluntarily recalled one lot of its dog food after testing turned up Salmonella contamination, and at least three human illnesses have already been linked to the product.
Here’s what’s recalled, and what to do if you have it at home.
What’s Being Recalled?
Oma’s Pride, based in Avon, Connecticut, is recalling one lot of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, sold in 6-pound bags. The affected lot number is BB012729.
The recalled bags carry a manufacture date of January 27, 2026 and an expiration date of January 27, 2029. In total, 639 bags were affected. Exact UPC and SKU numbers are available on the FDA’s website. No other Oma’s Pride products are included in this recall.
Why Was It Recalled?
The FDA received a consumer complaint, then collected and tested a sample of the product. That test came back positive for Salmonella.
Three human illnesses have already been reported in connection with the contaminated food, according to Food Safety News.
Can This Make People Sick, Not Just Dogs?
Yes, and that’s an important part of this recall. Pets carrying Salmonella can spread it to the people handling their food, even if the pet itself never shows symptoms.
Symptoms in dogs can include lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain. Some infected pets show no symptoms at all but can still carry and spread the bacteria to other animals or people.
Symptoms in people typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, usually starting 6 hours to 6 days after exposure. Most people recover within 4 to 7 days without needing treatment.
What Should You Do If You Have This Product?
- Stop feeding it to your dog immediately.
- Don’t donate it or give it to any other animal.
- Throw it away in a sealed trash bag, placed inside a sealed trash can so wildlife can’t get into it.
- Wash and sanitize any containers, bowls, scoops, or utensils that may have touched the food.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the recalled product or anything it touched.
- Keep children away from the recalled food entirely.
- Watch for symptoms in both your pet and yourself, and contact a veterinarian or doctor if either of you develops signs of illness.
Is This Part of a Bigger Pattern?
Unfortunately, yes. Salmonella remains the single most common cause of pet food recalls, and raw or freeze-dried diets in particular carry the highest documented contamination risk under FDA testing standards.
This isn’t an isolated case in 2026 either. Earlier this year, Albright’s Raw Pet Food recalled its Chicken Recipe for Dogs over Salmonella concerns in May, and Pretty Bird International pulled nearly 4,400 pounds of dry dog food in a separate Salmonella-related recall.
Bottom Line
If you have Oma’s Pride Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe with lot number BB012729, don’t feed it to your dog. Toss it, sanitize anything it touched, and watch for symptoms in both your pet and your household. For more food safety updates like this, check out [our latest health coverage] on the site.
