Two dog food manufacturers recall products within days over metal and salmonella contamination risks: Everything pet owners need to know

Two dog food manufacturers have issued product recalls in August following reports of contamination risks involving canned and raw dog food products. On August 21, 2026, Fromm Family Foods LLC recalled two varieties of its wet canned dog food because of potential metal contamination. The announcement came four days after Oma’s Pride recalled a lot of its raw canine food due to potential Salmonella contamination, with three dog illnesses reported in connection with the recall.

Fromm recalls canned dog food over potential metal contamination

Wisconsin-based Fromm Family Foods recalled 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food on August 21.


The recall was initiated after the company received complaints about metal contamination. Fromm said it had identified the error and implemented corrective measures alongside its existing safety processes.

The recalled products were distributed through neighborhood pet stores and online outlets in the United States and Canada.

The affected products are:

• Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food — 12.2-ounce can
  • UPC: 072705118700
  • Lot code: EP2A3306 551006
  • Best By: 032029
    
  
  
• Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food — 12.5-ounce can
  
  
  • UPC: 072705132324
  • Lot code: EP2A3306 551029
  • Best By: 032029
  
  
  

Consumers have been advised to stop feeding the recalled products to their dogs and return them to the retailer.
Metal fragments can pose serious risks if swallowed. Depending on their size and shape, they can cause injuries to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal upset, partial blockage or intestinal obstruction.

Dogs that ingest metal may show symptoms including choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy or stomach discomfort. Owners whose dogs have consumed the recalled food and are showing symptoms should contact a veterinarian.


Fromm said there have been no reported illnesses or injuries associated with the recalled products so far. The company said no other Fromm products are affected.

Oma’s Pride recalls raw dog food over Salmonella risk

Four days earlier, on August 17, 2026, Oma’s Pride of Avon, Connecticut, recalled one lot of its Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, a frozen raw dog food, after testing found Salmonella contamination. The recall involves 639 bags of the 6-pound product.

The affected product is:

• Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, 6 lb bag
• Lot: BB012729
• Manufacturing date: January 27, 2026
• Best-by date: January 27, 2029
• SKU: F-WOOFC-6
• UPC: 8 7938400145 9
• Distribution dates: February 12 to May 15, 2026

The recalled food was distributed to retail and wholesale accounts and directly to consumers in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The product was sold frozen in a 6-pound gusseted stand-up pouch containing 12 individually wrapped, 8-ounce vacuum-sealed portions.

Oma’s Pride said the recall began after the FDA received a consumer complaint and subsequently collected and tested a product sample that came back positive for Salmonella. The company said it is continuing to investigate the source and root cause of the contamination.

The company said three illnesses in dogs have been reported in connection with the complaint.

Salmonella can affect dogs and people handling contaminated food

Dogs that consume Salmonella-contaminated food may develop lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain. Some infected animals may show few or no symptoms while still carrying and potentially spreading the bacteria to other animals or people.

The contamination also poses a risk to people who handle the affected pet food, particularly if they do not thoroughly wash their hands afterward or clean surfaces that came into contact with the product.

Consumers who purchased the recalled Oma’s Pride lot have been advised to stop feeding it immediately, safely dispose of it and contact the company for a refund. They should also wash and sanitize pet food bowls, cups and storage containers and wash their hands after handling the recalled food or contaminated utensils.

Oma’s Pride said no other products, sizes or lots are affected by its recall. Both recalls were conducted voluntarily in coordination with the US Food and Drug Administration, with the two companies citing different contamination concerns: potential metal fragments in Fromm's canned dog food and Salmonella in the recalled Oma’s Pride raw dog food.
