Fromm Family Foods has issued a Fromm and Oma's Pride recall for roughly 5,800 cases of two wet dog food products in the U.S. and Canada after complaints of potential metal contamination. The company said no illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the recall covers products already sold through neighborhood pet stores and online retailers.
The recalled products are 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo's Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food. Fromm said symptoms can include choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and stomach discomfort.
Fromm Turkey Pâté codes
The affected Turkey Pâté comes in 12.2-ounce cans with UPC 072705118700 and lot code EP2A3306 551006. Fromm said sharp pieces of metal can cause cuts to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, and larger amounts could lead to a partial blockage or intestinal obstruction.
Milo's Meatloaf Pâté lot
The recalled Milo's Meatloaf Pâté comes in 12.5-ounce cans with UPC 072705132324 and lot code EP2A3306 551029. The company said it identified the error behind the recall and has taken corrective action to prevent it from happening again, but it did not provide further details about the source of the potential contamination.
That leaves pet owners with a narrow check: match the can size, UPC and lot code before feeding any remaining product, then set aside anything that matches the recall. For dogs that already ate the food, the named symptoms from Fromm are the ones to watch most closely.
The recall reaches across two countries, but the product risk is the same in both places. The unanswered point is the specific error Fromm identified behind the recall, and that is the detail that would show whether this was a one-off problem or something broader in the supply chain.
Food and Drug Administration
Fromm said the recall followed complaints and that corrective action has already been taken. The company’s notice gives owners the product names, case counts, UPCs and lot codes needed to sort recalled cans from unaffected ones.
