The Georgia-based company Suzanna’s Kitchen has recalled over 13,000 pounds of chicken products due to possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Friday. Here’s everything you need to know.
What products were recalled?
Suzanna’s Kitchen recalled 13,720 pounds of ready- to-eat grilled chicken breast fillet products that may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The products recalled are 10-lb. cases containing two 5 lb. bags of fully cooked grilled chicken breast fillets with rib meat. They can be identified by the lot code 60104 P1382 287 5 J14, which can be found on the side of the case as well as on the packaging.
The products were produced on Oct. 14, 2025. They also feature the establishment number P-1382 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The chicken breast fillets were shipped to distribution centers in seven states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio.
Why were the products recalled?
The chicken fillets were recalled after a third-party laboratory sample reported a positive Listeria monocytogenes result. Although there have been no illnesses reported in connection to consumption of these products, it is recommended that consumers contact a healthcare provider if they have any concerns.
Consumers may also ask questions related to food safety by contacting the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854). They may also email via [email protected].
Those who want to report an issue regarding a meat, poultry, or egg product may do so via the online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System, which is accessible 24 hours a day.
What is listeria?
Listeria monocytogenes may cause listeriosis, a serious infection that mainly affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, as well as pregnant women, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. It may cause complications for pregnant women in particular, as listeriosis may cause miscarriages, stillbirths, or life-threatening infections for newborns.
Symptoms typically appear anytime between three and 70 days after the consumption of contaminated food. They may include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.
