Oma's Pride Recalls Raw Dog Food Due to Salmonella Contamination, Three Illnesses Reported
Oma's Pride pet food company has issued a recall for its Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, a 6-pound frozen raw dog food product, after U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) testing detected salmonella. This recall follows a consumer complaint and has been linked to at least three reported illnesses. The affected product, identified by lot BB012729, was distributed to retail and wholesale customers in eleven states: Kentucky, Arizona, California, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It was also sold through direct-to-consumer online orders. The FDA emphasizes that both humans and pets can contract salmonella from contaminated food or surfaces that have come into contact with it. Symptoms in humans can include nausea, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea, while pets may exhibit lethargy, vomiting, fever, bloody diarrhea, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain. Even seemingly healthy animals can carry and transmit salmonella.
