Dog owners in the US are alerted to check their pet food after two separate dog food recalls this month in August 2026.
This includes one company, Oma’s Pride, recalling one batch of the frozen raw dog food due to the presence of Salmonella, and another company, Fromm Family Foods, recalling two kinds of canned dog food due to possible metal contamination.
Both these pet food recalls are each significant by themselves, and dog owners should be aware of both.
They are currently listed on the FDA’s website, under the pet food recalls section.
If you have bought any products from either of these companies, make sure to double-check the product, and not just rely on the brand name, as different products may have different safety precautions or warnings. Check for additional details such as the size, and lot numbers specific to the product, as well as the manufacturing or expiry dates.
Oma’s Pride Recall: Which Dog Food Is Affected?
The Oma’s Pride recall is linked to Salmonella contamination.
According to the FDA, the recall affects:
- Product: Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe
- Size: 6 lb bag
- Lot number: BB012729
- SKU: F-WOOFC-6
- Manufacturing date: January 27, 2026
- Best-by/expiration date: January 27, 2029
- Number of bags affected: 639
- Distribution period: February 12 through May 15, 2026
The product was sold frozen and contained 12 individually wrapped 8-ounce portions inside a 6-pound bag.
The affected product was distributed in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. It was sold through retail and wholesale accounts as well as direct online orders.
Are Other Oma’s Pride Products Recalled?
At the time of the updated recall notice, no other Oma’s Pride products, sizes or lots were affected.
Oma’s Pride also published its own recall notice confirming that the recall is limited to the specific lot of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe.
This means owners should not assume that every Oma’s Pride product is unsafe. The lot number is especially important when checking your freezer.
Why Was Oma’s Pride Dog Food Recalled?
The recalled food was contaminated with Salmonella .
The FDA announced the recall after receiving a consumer complaint and laboratory test results of a sample of the product. Their latest update shows that the illnesses occurred in pets that ate the products. However, no cases of human infections were reported at the time when the note was published.
The infection may show symptoms like diarrhoea with blood, vomiting, fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. The FDA added that there is also another dangerous scenario for the families to consider. According to them, a healthy-looking dog can carry and transfer Salmonella to other pets or humans and make them sick as well.
Fromm Dog Food Recall 2026: Which Products Are Affected?
A few days after the Oma’s Pride announcement, Fromm Family Foods announced a separate recall involving canned dog food.
The recalled Fromm products are:
- Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Canned Dog Food
- Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Canned Dog Food
The reason for the recall is potential metal contamination. Fromm announced the recall on August 21, 2026, and the FDA published the company announcement the same day.
The recall covers 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté.
Because the risk is different from the Oma’s Pride recall, owners of Fromm products should carefully compare their cans and packaging with the official recall information before feeding them to their dogs.
Fromm vs Oma’s Pride Recall: What Is the Difference?
Although both recalls concern dog food, the reported problems are different.
| Brand | Recalled product | Main concern |
| Oma’s Pride | Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, 6 lb | Salmonella contamination |
| Fromm | Turkey Pâté Wet Canned Dog Food | Potential metal contamination |
| Fromm | Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Canned Dog Food | Potential metal contamination |
The Oma’s Pride recall concerns a specific frozen raw-food lot, while the Fromm recall concerns two canned dog food varieties.
What Should Dog Owners Do If They Have Recalled Food?
- If you discover a recalled product at home, the safest course of action is to stop feeding it to your dog.
- Do not test the food yourself, or remove the suspicious part and continue feeding the rest. Instead, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for returning the product for a refund and dispose of the food properly.
- Oma’s Pride asks that customers whose orders may be affected contact them for further information on how to dispose of the food and obtain a refund.
- It is crucial that you keep the food away from children and other animals,
- wash your hands thoroughly after coming into contact with the product,
- clean any surfaces that have come into contact with the food,
- and do not allow other pets to consume the food.
- If your pet ingested the product and is now ill, contact your veterinarian.
- You should also retain the product packaging or take a picture of the relevant information if you need to contact the manufacturer or your vet about the recalled product.
What Are the Signs of Salmonella in Dogs?
Pet owners should watch for changes after possible exposure to the recalled Oma’s Pride product.
Possible signs include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Bloody diarrhoea
- Fever
- Loss of appetite
- Tiredness or unusual weakness
- Abdominal discomfort
Some dogs may carry Salmonella without obvious symptoms. The FDA warns that infected animals can potentially spread the bacteria to people or other animals.
If your dog has eaten the recalled product and develops concerning symptoms, contact a veterinarian rather than waiting for the symptoms to become severe.
How Can You Check Your Dog Food for Recalls?
Checking your pet food regularly is a useful habit, especially when buying raw, frozen or canned food.
Start by looking at the brand name, product name, package size, lot number and date information. A product can look almost identical to a recalled product while belonging to a different lot.
The FDA maintains an official database of animal food recalls and withdrawals. Its current listings include both the August 2026 Oma’s Pride and Fromm recalls.

For Fromm, the FDA’s announcement provides the current recall information and affected product details.
Should You Stop Buying These Brands?
A recall does not necessarily suggest that all items produced by a company are defective.
As the passage explains in the announcement of the recall for Oma’s Pride, the company makes it clear that aside from the listed products, sizes, and lots there are no other items that are recalled.
It is vital to understand what exactly is being recalled rather than automatically associating an entire brand with being hazardous.
Pet food can be recalled for many different reasons such as bacteria and foreign objects, along with incorrect ingredients or nutrition issues.
Therefore, it is best to research a recall on an individual basis rather than rely on social media posts or rumors.
Final Thoughts
Compare and Contrast of Fromm and Oma’s Pride Recall Cases
The Fromm and Oma’s Pride recall cases affect different products and have distinct consumer safety issues.
In particular, Oma’s Pride recalled Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe 6 lb, Lot BB012729, which was contaminated with Salmonella . According to the FDA information, 639 bags of the product were distributed in 11 states.
Meanwhile, Fromm’s recall list includes Turkey Pâté Wet Canned Dog Food and Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Canned Dog Food, which may contain metal contaminants.
If you have the affected pet food products at home, double-check the information on the package and do not give it to your pets. Contact the FDA and veterinary services to find out what to do if your animal has consumed the recalled product.
Note that the details about the recall may change as investigations continue, and it is vital to rely on the official statements about the case to ensure the health and safety of your animals.
