Is Your Oma’s Pride Dog Food Recalled? Check Lot BB012729 and Clean the Bowl Safely

Check the label before feeding any Oma’s Pride Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe from a 6-pound bag. The recall is limited to lot BB012729, SKU F-WOOFC-6, UPC 8 7938400145 9, manufactured January 27, 2026, with an expiration date of January 27, 2029. If those details match, stop feeding it immediately, keep people and animals away from the food, dispose of it securely, and contact Oma’s Pride for a refund.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says 639 bags are affected. The frozen raw dog food was distributed from February 12 through May 15, 2026, to retail and wholesale accounts and online customers in 11 states. No other Oma’s Pride product, package size, or lot is included in the announced recall.

Match all of these package details

The product is frozen raw dog food, not dry kibble or canned food. A similar-looking chicken recipe in another size is not included unless its label matches the complete set of identifiers above. Do not identify a recalled package by food color, smell, freezer condition, or a photograph alone; Salmonella cannot be detected that way.

Which states received the recalled lot?

The FDA notice names Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Distribution included stores, wholesalers, and frozen direct-to-consumer shipments ordered online.

That means an owner should not dismiss the notice simply because the bag did not come from a retail shelf. Check freezer deliveries and any portions moved into another container. If you bought the food elsewhere, the lot-code match remains the most useful test; the federal notice does not list distribution outside those 11 states.

What to do if the lot matches

1. Separate the food. Stop feeding it and prevent children, other adults, pets, and wildlife from reaching the bag or individual portions.
2. Record the label. Photograph the product name, lot, SKU, UPC, manufacture date, expiration date, and purchase information before disposal. Keep the photo for the refund request or a report to the FDA.
3. Dispose of it securely. Place the food and wrappers in a sealed bag inside a covered trash container. The FDA notice says not to sell or donate the recalled product.
4. Contact Oma’s Pride for a refund. Call 1-800-678-OMAS Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET or email hello@omaspride.com.
5. Clean everything it touched. Wash and sanitize feeding bowls, measuring cups, scoops, storage containers, feeding mats, freezer surfaces, counters, and utensils.
6. Wash your hands. Use soap and water before and after handling the bag, portions, dishes, waste, or anything that may have touched the food.

Do not thaw the product in order to inspect or return it unless the company gives specific instructions. Opening more wrappers creates additional contact points. A label photo usually preserves the identification details without spreading the raw food around the kitchen.

How to clean bowls and storage containers

First remove visible food while wearing disposable gloves if available, then place the waste in a sealed bag. Wash bowls and utensils with hot, soapy water, rinse them, and sanitize them using a method suitable for the material. Follow the label directions on any disinfectant rather than mixing cleaning chemicals.

The CDC recommends using a wash tub and sponge or brush reserved for pet supplies when possible. Washing pet items in a kitchen sink can spread germs to areas used for human food. If the kitchen sink must be used, remove human dishes and food first, wash the pet item, then clean and disinfect the sink and surrounding area. Wash your hands afterward.

Also clean refrigerator or freezer shelves, drawer handles, faucet handles, cabinet pulls, and phone screens touched during feeding. With frozen raw food, the contamination path can extend beyond the bowl: hands may move between a freezer door, scissors, a storage bin, the package, and the feeding area before anyone remembers to wash.

Can a person get Salmonella from recalled dog food?

Yes. The FDA’s recall notice specifically states that people face a risk from handling contaminated pet food, especially when they do not wash their hands after touching the product or exposed surfaces. People do not have to eat the dog food itself; germs transferred from hands or utensils to the mouth can be enough.

Human symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Anyone who develops symptoms after contact with the recalled food should contact a healthcare professional. Extra care is appropriate in homes with young children, older adults, pregnant people, or anyone with a weakened immune system.

Freezing is not a reliable kill step for Salmonella. The fact that the portions arrived and remained frozen does not cancel the recall or make the handling risk disappear.

What symptoms should dog owners watch for?

A dog with Salmonella may become lethargic and develop diarrhea, possibly with blood, fever, vomiting, reduced appetite, or abdominal pain. Some infected dogs may show few or no obvious signs while still carrying and shedding the bacteria, which can expose other animals or people.

If your dog ate food from lot BB012729 and has symptoms, contact a veterinarian. Before arriving at a clinic, tell the staff that the dog may have eaten recalled raw food so the clinic can give appropriate arrival and infection-control instructions. Keep the label photo and note when the dog ate the food, the amount, the onset of symptoms, and any people or animals that may also have been exposed.

The company recall announcement posted by the FDA says three illnesses had been reported in association with the consumer complaint. It does not identify the patients as people or animals in the text available at publication, so this article does not assign those reports to either group.

How the recall was discovered

According to the FDA-posted company announcement, the agency received a consumer complaint, collected a product sample, and found Salmonella during analysis. Oma’s Pride said it was investigating the source and root cause. The action is voluntary, but the consumer instructions—stop feeding, safely dispose, sanitize feeding equipment, and seek a refund—should be followed immediately for a matching lot.

The notice was later updated to add the reason for the recall, illness information, and distribution dates. Because recall notices can change, owners who still have the product should use the FDA page linked below as the final reference before contacting the company.

A 60-second freezer check

• Is the product Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe?
• Is it the 6-pound pouch containing twelve 8-ounce portions?
• Does the package show SKU F-WOOFC-6?
• Does the lot read BB012729?
• Does the UPC read 8 7938400145 9?
• Does it show a January 27, 2026 manufacture date or January 27, 2029 expiration date?

If all of those markers align, stop feeding the product and follow the disposal and cleaning steps. If you discarded the outer pouch and cannot identify the individual portions, do not guess. Keep them isolated and ask Oma’s Pride whether order records or retailer purchase data can confirm the lot.

Methodology: We used the New York Post report as a trend signal, then checked the FDA-posted company announcement and federal pet-food safety guidance.

The cleaning section was checked against current CDC guidance.
