The recall includes thousands of pounds of ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillets that may have been contaminated with listeria.
WASHINGTON — Nearly 14,000 pounds of ready-to-eat grilled chicken has been recalled because it may be contaminated with the bacteria that causes listeria, federal officials say.
In a notice published Friday, Georgia-based Suzanna’s Kitchen said it was recalling approximately 13,720 pounds of ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillet products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The recall involves fully cooked grilled chicken breast fillets that were sent to distribution centers for foodservice sales in seven states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio. The recalled chicken was produced on Oct. 14, 2025, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The USDA has determined this to be a Class I recall, meaning this “is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause illness in humans, commonly called listeria.
Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.
What chicken is being recalled?
The recalled products were packaged in 10-pound cases containing two 5-pound bags of fully cooked grilled chicken breast fillets with rib meat.
The affected items bear lot code “60104 P1382 287 5 J14” on both the case and the package, as well as establishment number “P-1382” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The issue was identified after a third-party laboratory reported a positive test for Listeria monocytogenes in a sample of the product, FSIS said.
No illnesses linked to the recalled chicken have been confirmed. But FSIS advised consumers who are concerned about potential illness to contact a health care provider.
The potentially contaminated chicken should not be consumed, and should instead be thrown out or returned.
