Two Dog Food Recalls Hit UK Pet Owners: Metal and Salmonella Risks

Two major dog food recalls have been issued in August 2026, affecting pet owners across North America including the UK. Fromm Family Foods recalled over 5,800 cases of canned wet dog food for potential metal contamination, while Oma’s Pride recalled 639 bags of frozen raw dog food after salmonella was detected. Three dogs have already fallen ill from the salmonella product. Pet owners should check product codes immediately and stop feeding affected batches to their animals.

Fromm’s metal contamination recall affects two dog food varieties

Fromm Family Foods, a Wisconsin-based pet food company, recalled over 5,800 cases of canned wet dog food on 21 August 2026 due to potential metal contamination. The recall covers more than 3,800 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté and 1,900 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté, both sold in 12-ounce and 12.5-ounce cans. The recalled products carry lot code EP2A3306 with best-by dates of 20 March 2029. Pet stores including Pet Supplies Plus and Premier Pet Supply stocked the affected products across the US and Canada.

Oma’s Pride salmonella recall follows FDA testing

Connecticut-based Oma’s Pride issued a recall for 639 bags of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe frozen raw dog food after the FDA detected salmonella contamination. The affected product has a manufacturing date of 27 January 2026 and a best-by date of 27 January 2029. The company distributed the recalled lot between 12 February and 15 May 2026 to retailers and wholesalers in 11 US states: Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, plus direct online orders. The company ships to 48 US states excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

Health risks to pets and humans from both recalls

Three dogs have been reported ill from the Oma’s Pride salmonella product. Infected dogs may show lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain. Healthy pets can become carriers and infect other animals. Salmonella also poses a risk to humans handling contaminated pet food, especially if they do not wash their hands thoroughly after contact. The Fromm metal contamination poses direct choking and internal injury risks to dogs consuming the affected batches.

What pet owners should do immediately

Pet owners who purchased either recalled product should stop feeding it to their dogs immediately and return it to the store of purchase. Contact your veterinarian if your pet shows any symptoms of illness. For Fromm inquiries, call 1-800-325-6331 or email [email protected]. For Oma’s Pride concerns, contact the company directly. Check product codes, lot numbers and best-by dates on packaging before opening any new dog food.

Final Thoughts

UK and US pet owners face two separate dog food safety risks in August 2026. Check your dog food packaging against the recalled lot codes and best-by dates. If you have purchased either product, stop feeding it and contact your veterinarian if your pet shows signs of illness.
