Fromm and Oma’s Pride Dog Food Recall: Full List of Recalled Products, Lot Numbers and What to Do

Dog owners should check their pet food supplies after Fromm Family Foods and Oma’s Pride recalled specific dog food products over separate contamination concerns, according to the latest U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notices.

The Fromm recall, announced Aug. 21, involves 5,825 cases of two canned dog food products that may contain metal. A separate Oma’s Pride recall involves 639 bags of frozen raw dog food that tested positive for Salmonella.

The FDA’s animal recall database continues to list both recalls as active as of Aug. 26.

The two recalls are unrelated, but both require pet owners to check product identifiers rather than assuming every product from either brand is affected.

Two Canned Dog Foods Affected

Fromm Family Foods of Mequon, Wisconsin, recalled 3,852 cases of Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food because of potential metal contamination.

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

The FDA says metal, particularly sharp pieces, could cause choking or injuries to a dog’s mouth or gastrointestinal tract.

Larger amounts could also result in gastrointestinal problems, partial blockage or intestinal obstruction.

There have been no reports of illness or injury linked to the recalled Fromm products, according to the company.

Fromm said, “We have identified the error,” adding that it had implemented corrective measures alongside its existing safety procedures.

Fromm says consumers should return affected products to their retailer.

Questions can be directed to the company at 1-800-325-6331, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central time, or by email at info@frommfamily.com.

One Raw Dog Food Lot Tested Positive for Salmonella

The Oma’s Pride recall was announced Aug. 17 and concerns one lot of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, a frozen raw dog food sold in 6-pound bags.

The FDA says the recall followed a consumer complaint and testing of a product sample that came back positive for Salmonella.

Three illnesses in dogs have been reported in connection with the complaint.

The product was distributed in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, including through retailers, wholesalers and direct online orders.

Importantly, the FDA’s Aug. 17 update clarified that the reported illnesses were in dogs only and that no human illnesses had been reported at that time.

What Pet Owners Should Do Now

If you have either recalled product, stop feeding it immediately.

Do not sell, donate or continue using the food.

For the Fromm products, return the affected cans to the retailer.

For Oma’s Pride, the FDA says consumers should safely dispose of the recalled food and contact the company for a refund.

Pet owners should also wash and sanitize food bowls, utensils and storage containers that came into contact with the recalled Oma’s Pride product, as well as their hands.

Pet owners should watch for signs of illness.

Dogs exposed to Salmonella may develop lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite or abdominal pain.

Infected dogs can also carry Salmonella without obvious symptoms and potentially spread it to other animals or people.

For the Fromm recall, symptoms that may indicate a problem after consuming contaminated food include choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy or stomach discomfort.

Owners should contact a veterinarian if their dog develops concerning symptoms after eating a recalled product.

What Is Not Affected?

The recalls are limited to the products and lot information identified by the companies and FDA.

Fromm specifically states that no other Fromm products are affected by the Aug. 21 recall.

Oma’s Pride likewise says no other products, sizes or lots are included in its recall.

That distinction matters because pet owners do not need to discard unrelated products from either brand solely because they see the brand name in recall coverage.

The lot code, UPC, product name and best-by information should be checked against the FDA notices.
