Two Dog Food Brands Recall Products Over Metal Contamination and Salmonella Risks

Two Recalls in Five Days

Two separate dog food recalls hit the market this week. Fromm Family Foods issued a recall on August 21 covering thousands of cans of wet dog food over possible metal contamination. Five days earlier, Oma’s Pride pulled a lot of frozen raw dog food after the FDA confirmed salmonella in a product sample. Pet owners who bought either brand in recent months should check their supply immediately.

Fromm Family Foods: Metal Contamination

Fromm Family Foods LLC of Mequon, Wisconsin, recalled two varieties of wet canned dog food on August 21. The affected products are Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food. The Turkey Pâté comes in 12.02-ounce cans with UPC 072705118700. The Meatloaf Pâté comes in 12.5-ounce cans with UPC 072705132324. Both carry a best-by date of March 20, 2029.
Nearly 4,000 cases of the Turkey Pâté and nearly 2,000 cases of the Meatloaf Pâté are included in the recall. The products were distributed across the United States and Canada. No illnesses in dogs or humans have been reported in connection with this recall. Fromm initiated the recall after identifying a potential risk of metal fragments in the affected lot. Pet owners should stop feeding these products immediately and contact Fromm for a full refund.

Oma’s Pride: Salmonella Contamination

Oma’s Pride of Avon, Connecticut, recalled 639 bags of its Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe frozen raw dog food on August 17. The FDA triggered the recall after a consumer complaint led to laboratory testing that came back positive for salmonella.
The affected product comes in a six-pound stand-up pouch containing 12 individually wrapped eight-ounce vacuum-sealed portions. The lot code is BB012729. The bags were manufactured on January 27, 2026 and carry an expiration date of January 27, 2029. They were sold between February 12 and May 15, 2026 to retailers and wholesalers in eleven states including Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The product was also sold online and through direct-to-consumer channels.
Three dogs have been reported ill after eating the affected product. No human illnesses have been linked to the recall.

Health Risks for Pets and People

Salmonella in pet food can affect both animals and the humans who handle it. Dogs that become infected may show signs including vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stool, fever, loss of appetite, and stomach pain. Some dogs carry the bacteria without showing any symptoms, which makes them a silent risk to people in the household. Humans who handle contaminated food without washing their hands thoroughly can develop nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever. In rare cases, the infection can lead to more serious complications including arterial infections or joint problems.

What Pet Owners Should Do

Anyone with the affected Fromm products should stop feeding them to their dogs, dispose of the food safely, and contact Fromm for a refund. Anyone with the recalled Oma’s Pride product should do the same and contact Oma’s Pride directly. For both recalls, wash and sanitize all bowls, feeding containers, prep surfaces, and any areas where the food was stored or handled. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the recalled products or after contact with a pet that may have consumed them. If a dog shows any symptoms after eating the affected food, contact a veterinarian promptly.
