Fromm and Oma’s Pride Dog Food Recalls, What Pet Owners Need to Know

Two well-known dog food brands issued recalls this month for two very different reasons: Fromm found possible metal fragments in canned pâté, and Oma’s Pride confirmed Salmonella in a batch of frozen raw chicken. Neither company has been sued yet. Here’s exactly what’s affected, what symptoms to watch for, and what your options are if your dog got sick.

Fromm Recall: What’s Affected and Why

Fromm Family Foods of Mequon, Wisconsin, is recalling about 5,800 cases of two canned wet dog foods after receiving complaints of metal contamination:

• Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food, 12.2 oz cans, UPC 072705118700, lot code EP2A3306 551006, Best By 03/2029
• Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food, 12.5 oz cans, UPC 072705132324, lot code EP2A3306 551029, Best By 03/2029

The affected cans were sold through neighborhood pet stores and online retailers in the U.S. and Canada. Fromm says it has identified the source of the problem and put corrective actions in place, and that no other Fromm products are affected. No illnesses or injuries have been reported so far.

That doesn’t mean the risk is zero. Metal fragments — especially sharp ones — can cause mouth or gastrointestinal lacerations, and swallowing enough metal can lead to partial blockage or a full intestinal obstruction, which is a surgical emergency in dogs. Watch for choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, or stomach discomfort, and stop feeding the recalled cans immediately if you have them.

This is Fromm’s second foreign-material recall in under a year. The company recalled 300 cases of Bonnihill Farms BeefiBowls frozen dog food in December 2025 over potential plastic contamination — a recall the FDA has since closed out.

Oma’s Pride Recall: What’s Affected and Why

Oma’s Pride, made by Miller Foods Inc. of Avon, Connecticut, is recalling one lot of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, a 6-pound frozen raw dog food sold in a stand-up pouch containing 12 individually wrapped 8-ounce portions:

• Lot BB012729, item number F-WOOFC-6, UPC 8 7938400145 9
• Manufactured January 27, 2026; Best By January 27, 2029
• 639 bags affected

The FDA opened testing after a consumer complaint, and the sample came back positive for Salmonella. Oma’s Pride says it’s still investigating the source. Three dog illnesses have been reported in connection with the product; the company has clarified that no human illnesses have been reported.

The recalled lot was distributed to retailers and wholesalers in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, plus direct-to-consumer online orders shipped frozen. If your dog ate this product and is showing lethargy, diarrhea (with or without blood), fever, vomiting, or decreased appetite, contact your veterinarian.

Salmonella in raw pet food isn’t just a pet risk. Anyone who handles the product or a contaminated bowl or surface without washing their hands afterward can get sick too, with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, and fever. Wash your hands, bowls, scoops, and any surface the food touched.

Has Anyone Sued Fromm or Oma’s Pride Over This?

No. As of August 26, 2026, no lawsuit has been filed against either company tied to these recalls. Both are voluntary recalls coordinated with the FDA, and neither company has been accused in court of wrongdoing.

That’s a meaningfully different situation from a filed class action. Pet food class actions do happen — The Farmer’s Dog is currently facing one over alleged mislabeled fat content, and Mid America Pet Food’s 2023 salmonella recall eventually became a $5.5 million class action settlement that paid pet owners up to $100 per pet illness and $100,000 for documented losses. Recalls like Fromm’s and Oma’s Pride’s are often the first sign something like that could eventually follow — but it takes documented harm and, usually, multiple affected consumers before a case like that gets filed.

What If Your Dog Got Sick?

If your dog ate either recalled product and had a real medical event — a vet visit, a diagnosis, a hospital stay, or worse — you may have grounds for an individual product liability claim regardless of whether a class action ever gets filed. To have a case, you’d generally need to show:

• You had the specific recalled lot (keep the packaging, receipt, or photo of the lot code)
• Your dog’s illness is documented by a veterinarian
• There’s a plausible medical link between the contaminated food and the illness

Most state law treats pets as property rather than family members for damages purposes, which limits what a lawsuit can recover — but veterinary bills, and in serious cases a pet’s fair market value, are typically recoverable. A product liability or consumer protection attorney can tell you whether your situation supports a claim.

What Should Pet Owners Do Right Now

1. Check your freezer and pantry for the exact lot codes and Best By dates listed above — a matching product name alone isn’t enough to confirm the recall applies to your can or bag.
2. Stop feeding the recalled product immediately and don’t return it to your regular feeding rotation “just to be safe.”
3. If your dog shows any of the symptoms listed above, contact your veterinarian rather than waiting to see if it resolves on its own.
4. Wash bowls, scoops, and storage containers that touched the recalled food, and wash your hands after handling it — this matters more for the Oma’s Pride Salmonella recall than for Fromm’s metal contamination.
5. Save your packaging, receipt, and any veterinary records if your dog got sick — that documentation is what a future claim, individual or class, would be built on.
6. Fromm is accepting returns at the original place of purchase; Oma’s Pride is offering refunds directly.
