The recalled product is a frozen raw dog food sold in a 6-pound pouch containing 12 individually wrapped 8-ounce portions.

The affected lot was distributed in:

Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

The product was distributed to retail and wholesale accounts and was also shipped frozen directly to consumers through online orders.

Three Dog Illnesses Reported

The recall was initiated after the FDA received a consumer complaint and collected a product sample that tested positive for Salmonella.

According to the updated recall information, three illnesses in dogs have been reported in association with the complaint.

The FDA announcement also states that no human illnesses have been reported to date.

No other Oma’s Pride products, package sizes, or lots are affected by this recall.

Salmonella can affect animals that eat contaminated food. Dogs with an infection may experience:

1. Stop feeding the affected product to your dog immediately.

3. Do not sell or donate recalled pet food.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safely disposing of the product.
