Listeria Scare: Chicken Recall Hits 7 States
18 Jan
Summary
- Ready-to-eat grilled chicken fillets recalled due to listeria risk.
- Approximately 13,720 pounds of product are affected by the recall.
- Recalled products were distributed to food service distribution centers.
A recall has been issued for ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillet products by Suzanna's Kitchen due to potential contamination with listeria monocytogenes. The announcement was made on January 16, 2026, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Approximately 13,720 pounds of the affected chicken were produced on October 14, 2025, and shipped to food service distribution centers across seven states. A positive test result for listeria monocytogenes from a third-party laboratory sample triggered the recall, although no illnesses have been reported to date.
While the recall does not currently affect retail consumers, food service operations in the impacted states are urged to check their inventory and remove any matching products. The FSIS advises anyone concerned about potential illness after consuming the chicken to consult a healthcare provider and emphasizes the importance of proper sanitation procedures.
