Oma’s Pride Dog Food Recall: Lot BB012729, Salmonella and Three Reported Illnesses

Status: Active voluntary recall announced and posted by FDA on August 12, 2026. One identified lot is covered. The company says its root-cause investigation is continuing.

Oma’s Pride is recalling 639 six-pound bags of frozen raw Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe after an FDA-collected sample tested positive for Salmonella. The recall covers lot BB012729. Consumers should stop feeding it immediately and check the lot code, UPC, and best-by date before disposing of the food or seeking a refund.

Exact product identifiers

The FDA-posted recall announcement says the lot went to retail and wholesale accounts and directly to online customers in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It was shipped frozen.

The notice says no other Oma’s Pride product, size, or lot is affected. Consumers should rely on the exact identifiers, not discard unrelated products based only on the brand name.

What triggered the recall

According to the notice, FDA received a consumer complaint, collected a sample, and found Salmonella in the tested product. That is a confirmed laboratory result for the sampled product. It does not prove that every portion in every recalled bag contained the bacteria.

The notice also says three illnesses were reported in association with the complaint. It does not say whether those reports involved people, pets, or both. It does not publish laboratory records tying each illness to the food. BadPD therefore treats the illness count as reported and associated, not as three proven cases caused by the product.

Why raw pet food can affect a household

Salmonella can make pets sick, but animals may also carry and shed the bacteria without obvious symptoms. The FDA’s animal-health guidance lists vomiting, diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, and reduced activity as possible signs in dogs and cats.

People can be exposed after handling contaminated food, bowls, utensils, surfaces, saliva, or pet waste. The CDC pet-food safety page says freezing raw animal protein does not kill every germ and does not recommend feeding raw pet food to dogs or cats. That is general safety guidance, not proof about any additional Oma’s Pride lot.

What consumers should do

1. Stop feeding lot BB012729 immediately.
2. Do not sell or donate the recalled food.
3. Dispose of it securely so children, pets, and wildlife cannot reach it, or contact Oma’s Pride about a refund.
4. Wash and sanitize bowls, scoops, storage containers, freezer surfaces, and anything else that touched the food.
5. Wash hands with soap and water after handling the food or cleanup materials.
6. Contact a veterinarian if a pet that ate the food develops symptoms. Contact a health-care provider for concerning human symptoms.

FDA publishes additional safe-handling guidance for pet food. The company notice directs consumers to Oma’s Pride at 1-800-678-OMAS or hello@omaspride.com.

What remains unknown

The public notice does not identify the source of the contamination, classify the three illness reports, publish a distribution-by-account list, or provide testing results for every recalled bag. Oma’s Pride says it is investigating the source and root cause. BadPD will update this ledger if FDA or the company expands the recall, changes the illness count, or publishes additional laboratory or distribution records.
