Key facts
- Product: Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, 6 lb bag
- Lot: BB012729; item: F-WOOFC-6
- UPC: 8 7938400145 9; best by: Jan. 27, 2029
- Scope: 639 bags distributed in 11 states and online
- Aug. 17 update: three dog illnesses; no reported human illnesses
Timeline
Jan. 27, 2026 — the recalled lot is manufactured. Feb. 12-May 15 — 639 bags are distributed. Aug. 12 — the company begins the recall. Aug. 17 — the notice is updated to clarify that three illnesses occurred in dogs and no human illnesses had been reported. Next — the company continues investigating the contamination source while consumers check freezers and follow refund and sanitation guidance.
Salmonella can make dogs ill and can also reach people who handle contaminated food, bowls or surfaces. Frozen raw food may remain in a household long after the sale date, so the lot code is more useful than the announcement date. The FDA-posted notice says healthy-looking pets can carry and spread the bacteria, making cleaning and handwashing part of the response.
The official notice identifies 639 bags but gives no recall-cost, revenue or inventory-value estimate. Any wider commercial effect would be speculation because the company says no other Oma's Pride products, sizes or lots are included.
What happened?
The recall covers Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe in a six-pound gusseted pouch containing 12 individually wrapped eight-ounce portions. The identifying details are lot BB012729, item F-WOOFC-6, UPC 8 7938400145 9, manufacturing date Jan. 27, 2026 and best-by date Jan. 27, 2029. The company distributed the lot from Feb. 12 through May 15 to retail and wholesale accounts and direct-to-consumer buyers in 11 states.
Why it matters
Salmonella can make dogs ill and can also reach people who handle contaminated food, bowls or surfaces. Frozen raw food may remain in a household long after the sale date, so the lot code is more useful than the announcement date. The FDA-posted notice says healthy-looking pets can carry and spread the bacteria, making cleaning and handwashing part of the response.
Background
Oma's Pride recalled 639 bags from one lot of its frozen raw Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe after an FDA sample tested positive for Salmonella. The Aug. 17 update clarified that three reported illnesses were in dogs and that no human illnesses had been reported. Owners should match the product, six-pound size and lot BB012729 before disposing of food or requesting a refund.
What each side says
Oma's Pride says it voluntarily recalled the lot while investigating the contamination source and that no other products, sizes or lots are affected. FDA says it received a consumer complaint, collected and analyzed a sample that tested positive for Salmonella, and advises consumers to stop feeding a matching product. The FDA recall index continues to list the action without a terminated-recall designation, which means the public should rely on the current recall instructions rather than assume the action is closed.
What happens next
Check any frozen raw dog food for the exact product name, six-pound size, lot BB012729 and UPC 8 7938400145 9. Stop feeding a match; do not sell or donate it. Dispose of it safely or contact Oma's Pride for a refund, then wash and sanitize bowls, utensils, storage containers, hands and exposed surfaces. Contact a veterinarian if a pet that ate the food develops lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, reduced appetite or abdominal pain; people with symptoms after handling it should contact a healthcare provider.
Nivegu analysis
This is a one-lot recall, not a brand-wide warning. A useful package check requires four fields to align: Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, six-pound bag, lot BB012729 and the listed UPC. The Aug. 17 correction also matters: the three reported illnesses were in dogs, while the notice said no human illnesses had been reported as of that update.
Different viewpoints
Pet owners can keep unrelated products and focus on one precisely identified lot. People with a matching bag can stop feeding it, dispose of it safely or contact the company for a refund before further exposure occurs.
Owners of the recalled lot lose food and may face veterinary costs if a pet becomes ill. The public notice does not quantify the company's financial exposure. Dogs with Salmonella symptoms and people exposed while handling contaminated food face the most immediate health risk.
