Oma’s Pride said the recall was initiated after the FDA confirmed *Salmonella* in a sample and emphasized that no other products or lots are affected. The FDA advises consumers to stop feeding the product, discard it safely, and sanitize bowls, containers, and hands after handling. The CDC notes that *Salmonella* can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals, with severe outcomes more likely in vulnerable populations.

Raw pet foods are not heat-treated, allowing bacteria such as *Salmonella* to survive to the bowl. Infected dogs may show symptoms or become asymptomatic carriers, shedding the pathogen onto surfaces and exposing household members. Human exposure typically occurs through handling contaminated food or contact with infected pets, leading to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever. The recall highlights regulatory scrutiny of raw pet foods, which have been linked to multiple *Salmonella* and *Listeria* incidents.
