Ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillets have been recalled in seven states by Suzanna’s Kitchen because of possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes, according to an announcement made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on January 16, 2026.
While no illnesses have been reported—at the time of publishing—Listeria monocytogenes can be dangerous, particularly for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, newborn babies, people aged 65 or over, and those with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that listeria “can thrive in unsanitary food production conditions, leading to contamination of the food.”
It warns that symptoms can range from mild to severe and can present themselves in the form of fever, muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting—which tend to last between one and three days—or headaches, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions.
Chicken Recall Details
On January 16, Suzanna’s Kitchen, a company based in Norcross, Georgia, announced a recall of approximately 13,720 pounds of ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillet products due to potential contamination, the FSIS notice said.
Specific recalled product details
- 10-pound cases containing two 5-pound. bags of fully cooked grilled chicken breast fillets with rib meat
- Lot code: 60104 P1382 287 5 J14 (appears on both the case and the individual bags)
- Establishment number P-1382 (which is inside the mark of inspection)
All affected products were produced on October 14, 2025, and shipped to food service distribution centers in the following seven states:
- Alabama
- Florida
- Georgia
- Missouri
- New Hampshire
- North Carolina
- Ohio
The contamination risk was discovered after a third-party laboratory sample tested positive for listeria monocytogenes, according to FSIS. The recall does not currently affect retail consumers, but food service operations in these seven states have been urged to check their inventories immediately and remove the products if the codes match.
Advice For People Who Have Consumed the Recalled Chicken
The FSIS has advised anyone who may have consumed the recalled chicken and is concerned about illness to contact their health care provider. In the meantime, it will continue to monitor the recall and any reports of illness.
The FSIS has urged food service venues to take this recall seriously and to follow proper cleaning and sanitation procedures for all the areas and equipment that may have come into contact with the potentially contaminated chicken
