Dog Food Recall 2026: Two Brands Warned Over Salmonella and Metal Contamination
Two dog food manufacturers in the United States have announced product recalls following concerns over potential salmonella contamination and metal contamination, prompting pet owners to check their supplies.
The recalls involve products from Oma’s Pride and Fromm Family Foods, with consumers advised to stop using affected products and follow the companies’ recall instructions.
Oma’s Pride Recalls Frozen Dog Food
Oma’s Pride announced a recall on August 17, 2026, involving 639 bags of frozen Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reportedly confirmed salmonella in a product sample following testing triggered by a consumer complaint. Three dog illnesses have been reported in connection with the product, although no human illnesses have been identified.
The recalled food is packaged in six-pound stand-up pouches containing 12 individually wrapped eight-ounce portions.
The affected lot was manufactured on January 27, 2026, with a best-by date of January 27, 2029.
The product was distributed between February 12 and May 15 across 11 states, including California, Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Some units were also sold directly to consumers online.
Fromm Issues Separate Recall
Fromm Family Foods announced another recall on August 21, 2026, involving certain wet canned dog food products because of a potential metal contamination risk.
Pet owners who have recently purchased Fromm canned dog food should check the company's recall information and compare their products with the affected lot details before feeding them to their pets.
Salmonella Can Affect Dogs and People
Salmonella can cause symptoms in dogs including diarrhea, vomiting, fever, lethargy, loss of appetite and abdominal discomfort.
Some infected animals may show no symptoms but can still carry the bacteria and potentially spread it to people or other animals.
Humans exposed to contaminated pet food can also become ill, with possible symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever.
For this reason, pet owners should wash their hands thoroughly after handling potentially contaminated food and clean bowls, storage containers and other surfaces that may have come into contact with recalled products.
What Pet Owners Should Do
Owners who purchased the recalled Oma’s Pride product should stop feeding it to their dogs immediately and dispose of it safely.
Oma’s Pride has advised affected customers to contact the company regarding a refund. Pet bowls, containers and other equipment that touched the recalled food should also be thoroughly washed and sanitized.
Pet owners should also avoid relying solely on the appearance or smell of the food, as contamination may not always be detectable.
