Oma’s Pride has recalled 639 bags of one lot of frozen raw dog food after testing found Salmonella, according to reports citing the company’s recall announcement posted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website. The product was distributed in Arizona and 10 other states, and three illnesses have been reported in connection with it. The available evidence supports a targeted product recall, but it does not yet explain how contamination occurred or establish the clinical details of those illnesses.
The affected product is Oma’s Pride Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, sold in 6-pound bags. The recalled lot is BB012729, with item or SKU F-WOOFC-6. Reports say the bags were manufactured on Jan. 27, 2026, and have a best-by or expiration date of Jan. 27, 2029. The product was distributed through retailers, wholesalers and direct-to-consumer online orders shipped frozen.
What the recall confirms
The recall applies to one lot, not the entire Oma’s Pride product line. The company said no other Oma’s Pride products were affected, according to the reports. The evidence also identifies the affected product as raw frozen dog food packaged in a 6-pound pouch containing 12 individually wrapped 8-ounce portions.
Distribution reportedly reached Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. That means the practical question for a customer is not simply whether the food was bought in Arizona. It is whether the bag matches the product, lot code and identifying details in the recall notice. The supplied reports say additional UPC and SKU information is available through the FDA notice, but that primary document was not included in the evidence pack.
Why the Salmonella finding affects more than the bowl
Salmonella can affect animals that eat contaminated food and people who handle the food, according to the reporting. LiveNOW from FOX describes possible human symptoms as diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps after contact with infected animals, feces, environments or contaminated food and water. That description is general information; the supplied evidence does not provide medical records, laboratory details or a verified account of symptoms for the three reported illnesses.
The handling risk is why the recall instructions extend beyond stopping the pet’s meals. Consumers who purchased the affected lot were told to stop feeding it, dispose of it, wash and sanitize food bowls, measuring cups and storage containers, and wash their hands after handling the product or related utensils. The company also directed customers to contact Oma’s Pride for a refund.
Those steps address possible transfer from the food or contaminated surfaces. They do not answer whether the contamination began during production, packaging, storage or another stage of distribution. Oma’s Pride said it was conducting a further investigation, and the available reports do not include its findings.
What remains unverified
The reports differ in how they frame the illnesses: they state that three illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled product, but the evidence does not show that the product was definitively determined to have caused each illness. It also does not identify whether the illnesses involved pets, people or both, nor does it provide timing, testing methods or health outcomes.
That distinction matters. A positive product sample supports removing the affected lot from circulation. It is separate from proving the source, route and full health impact of every reported illness. The current evidence supports the recall action more strongly than it supports conclusions about the outbreak’s size or cause.
What affected owners should check next
Owners who have this product should compare the bag with the recalled lot information before feeding it. If the product matches, the reported instructions are to stop using it, dispose of it safely, clean surfaces and utensils that touched it, and contact Oma’s Pride for a refund. The reports provide the company’s customer-service phone number as 1-800-678-OMAS and the email address [email protected].
The next meaningful development would be an update from Oma’s Pride or the FDA that clarifies the investigation, confirms whether the recall remains limited to lot BB012729 or adds distribution and product-identification details. Until then, the confirmed issue is narrow but consequential: one identified lot of raw frozen dog food tested positive for Salmonella, and the available evidence does not support broader claims about other Oma’s Pride products.
The evidence supports a targeted 2026 recall rather than a recall of all Oma’s Pride products. One lot of frozen raw dog food tested positive for Salmonella, and reports identify 639 affected bags distributed through retail, wholesale and online channels in 11 states. The main uncertainty is not whether the lot was recalled, but how contamination occurred and what can be established about the three reported illnesses. Owners can act on the lot information and cleaning instructions now; the next evidence milestone is an FDA or company update on the investigation and final scope.
