Fromm and Oma’s Pride Recalls: Dog Food to Check

Fromm and Oma’s Pride Recalls: Dog Food Products to Check

Fromm and Oma’s Pride recalls are affecting specific dog food products for two different safety concerns. Fromm Family Foods recalled selected canned dog foods over potential metal contamination, while Oma’s Pride recalled one lot of frozen raw dog food after FDA testing found Salmonella. The recalls are separate and do not affect every product made by either company.

For pet owners, the most important step is to check the product name, lot code and best-by information before feeding the food. The Fromm recall was announced August 21, while the FDA's updated Oma’s Pride notice says three dog illnesses have been reported in connection with the complaint that led to its recall. No human illnesses had been reported in the updated Oma’s Pride notice.

What products are included in the Fromm recall?

The Fromm recall covers two canned dog foods: Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food. Fromm Family Foods said it was recalling 3,852 cases of the Turkey Pâté product and 1,973 cases of the Milo’s Meatloaf product because of potential metal contamination. The products were distributed through neighborhood pet stores and online outlets in the United States and Canada.

The affected Turkey Pâté is sold in 12.2-ounce cans. Its UPC is 072705118700, and the recalled lot is EP2A3306 551006 with a Best By date of 032029. The affected Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté is sold in 12.5-ounce cans, carries UPC 072705132324, and has lot code EP2A3306 551029 with the same Best By date of 032029.

Fromm said the recall followed complaints involving metal contamination. The company stated that it identified the error and put corrective actions in place. As of the recall announcement, there were no reported illnesses or injuries connected to the affected Fromm products. The company also said no other Fromm products were affected by this recall.

What products are included in the Oma’s Pride recall?

The Oma’s Pride recall is narrower. It covers one lot of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, a frozen raw dog food sold in a 6-pound bag. The affected lot is BB012729. The FDA says 639 bags were impacted, and the product was distributed in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The recalled Oma’s Pride product has SKU F-WOOFC-6, UPC 8 7938400145 9, a manufacturing date of January 27, 2026, and a Best By date of January 27, 2029. The affected product was distributed from February 12 through May 15, 2026. The six-pound pouch contains 12 individually wrapped eight-ounce portions.

Unlike the Fromm recall, the Oma’s Pride recall involves a confirmed pathogen. FDA testing of a sample collected after a consumer complaint found Salmonella. The agency's updated notice says three dog illnesses had been reported in connection with the complaint. Oma’s Pride said no other products, sizes or lots were affected.

Why are Fromm and Oma’s Pride recalls being compared?

The two recalls began appearing together in searches because both were announced within days of each other and both involve dog food. However, the safety concerns are different. Fromm is dealing with potential physical contamination from metal in two specific canned products, while Oma’s Pride is dealing with biological contamination from Salmonella in one lot of frozen raw chicken dog food. The FDA lists both recalls among its recent animal-food safety actions.

That distinction matters when pet owners assess risk. Metal contamination can potentially cause choking, cuts to the mouth or gastrointestinal tract, blockage or intestinal obstruction. Salmonella can cause illness in dogs and can also create a handling risk for people who come into contact with contaminated food or surfaces.

What should pet owners do with recalled dog food?

Owners who have the affected Fromm products should stop feeding them and return the cans to the retailer, according to the company and FDA notice. Owners with the affected Oma’s Pride lot should stop feeding it immediately, safely dispose of the food and contact Oma’s Pride for a refund. Recalled pet food should not be sold or donated.

With the Oma’s Pride product in particular, owners should also wash and sanitize food bowls, storage containers, utensils and other surfaces that may have contacted the recalled raw food. Thorough handwashing after handling the product or equipment that touched it is also important because Salmonella can spread from contaminated pet food to people or other animals.

For Fromm products, owners should avoid feeding any can matching the recalled product name, lot code and Best By date. If a dog has eaten potentially contaminated food and develops concerning symptoms, veterinary advice should be sought rather than waiting for the symptoms to worsen.

What symptoms should dog owners watch for?

Dogs that consume metal-contaminated food may show signs including choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy or stomach discomfort. Sharp metal can injure the mouth or gastrointestinal tract, while larger amounts can contribute to blockage or intestinal obstruction. Fromm specifically advises owners to contact a veterinarian if a dog has consumed affected food and develops symptoms.

Dogs infected with Salmonella may show lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some infected dogs may have less obvious signs, including reduced appetite, fever or abdominal pain. The FDA also warns that apparently healthy infected animals can carry Salmonella and potentially expose other animals or people.

People can also become sick after handling contaminated pet food or surfaces. The FDA lists possible human symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Anyone who develops symptoms after exposure should contact a healthcare provider.

Are all Fromm and Oma’s Pride dog foods recalled?

No. The recalls are limited to the specifically identified products and lots. Fromm says no other Fromm products are affected by the August 2026 recall. Oma’s Pride likewise states that no other products, sizes or lots are affected by its Salmonella recall. Pet owners should therefore use the product identifiers rather than assuming the entire brand has been recalled.

This is particularly important for consumers who buy different recipes from the same brand. A different product name, size or lot number is not automatically part of the recall. The safest approach is to compare the packaging against the official recall information before feeding the food.

Why the Oma’s Pride recall has an added handling concern

The Oma’s Pride situation carries a broader household-safety consideration because the recalled food is raw frozen dog food and the identified hazard is Salmonella. The concern is not limited to whether a dog becomes visibly ill. Contaminated food can also expose people through direct handling, food bowls, storage containers or other surfaces.

The FDA's updated notice specifically clarified that the illnesses reported to date occurred only in dogs and that no human illnesses had been reported as of the update. That clarification is important because earlier reports could leave readers with the mistaken impression that human illnesses had already been confirmed.

What is the latest status of the recalls?

Both recalls remain active safety matters in the FDA's recent recall listings. The FDA lists Fromm's recall dated August 21 for potential metal contamination and Oma’s Pride's recall dated August 17 for Salmonella contamination. Neither listing is marked as terminated in the FDA recall database.

Oma’s Pride says it is continuing its investigation into the source and root cause of the contamination while working with the FDA. Fromm says it identified the error behind its metal-contamination complaints and has implemented corrective actions. Consumers should rely on the latest manufacturer and FDA notices if additional lots or products are added later.

Where can consumers get recall information?

For Oma’s Pride questions, the FDA notice lists the company at 1-800-678-OMAS, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time, and provides an email contact. Fromm lists 1-800-325-6331, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central Time, for consumer questions.

Because recall information can change as investigations continue, pet owners should verify the lot code and product details against the current FDA announcement before making a decision about an item they have at home. The key point is that these are two separate recalls, and neither announcement currently applies to every product sold under either brand.
