Huge recall of nearly 7 tons of ready-to-eat chicken in these states after Listeria scare

A cooked chicken recall is the kind of headline that makes your stomach drop, and this one is serious. Nearly seven tons of ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillets are getting pulled after a Listeria monocytogenes scare tied to Suzanna’s Kitchen.

The catch is, nobody’s claiming anyone got sick. Instead, food service operators in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio are stuck doing damage control, hunting through 10-pound cases from October 14, 2025, and checking 5-pound bags stamped with Lot Code 60104 P1382 287 5 J14.

With no illnesses reported so far, the real panic is now about whether those shelves, kitchens, and stockrooms still have the wrong cases.

Main Story

If you’ve been buying cooked chicken, you might want to find out if it is in a major recall list of nearly seven tons of ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillets in these locations.

Listeria monocytogenes is no joke, and if you catch it, you can experience nasty symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and an upset stomach.

That’s when the USDA FSIS alert about 13,720 pounds of possibly contaminated chicken starts to feel way more immediate than a random food-safety notice.

Key Point 2

As a bacterium which can be found in certain foods, such as meats and dairy, it can be transmitted to humans via consumption, leading to listeriosis.

If the bacterial infection spreads to the spinal cord, it can lead to chills, flu-like symptoms, and even seizures, per the Mayo Clinic.

Key Point 3

In unsanitary conditions, Listeria can thrive, and be particularly dangerous to pregnant women, newborn babies, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

While outbreaks aren’t all that common thanks to food safety standards and proper handling and storing techniques, a third-party laboratory testing found that 13,720 pounds of chicken could contain the bacteria in seven states.

The timing gets even messier because the recall specifically points to 10-pound cases produced on October 14, 2025, meaning operators have to trace exact batches, not just “some chicken.”

Also, Jelly Roll’s 275lb weight loss and Bunnie Xo’s intimacy revelations are a surprising contrast.

Key Point 4

The Listeria recall food, which comes from Georgia-based food company Suzanna’s Kitchen, is now being alerted in its Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio distribution systems, per the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The FSIS announced on Friday (January 16) that the recall pertains to the 10-pound cases produced on October 14, 2025.

Key Point 5

The 5-pound bags of fully cooked grilled chicken breast fillets with rib meat, display the Lot Code 60104 P1382 287 5 J14 and Establishment Number P-1382.

Thankfully, it has been confirmed that no illnesses have been reported in light of the findings. Instead of impacting retail customers, it instead is something that the food service operators in the seven affected states are troubled with.

Key Point 6

Now, they need to check their stocks and make sure they don’t have any impacted cases.

However, the FSIS still urges people who think they might have consumed the chicken to seek medical advice.

And even though no illnesses have been reported, the whole situation turns into a stock-check scramble that can’t be ignored, especially for anyone serving higher-risk diners.</p>

Key Point 7

The alert reads in part: “The products subject to recall bear establishment number P-1382 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distribution centers for foodservice sales in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio.

“The problem was discovered when a third-party laboratory sample reported a positive Listeria monocytogenes result in the ready-to-eat fully cooked grilled chicken breast fillets product.

Key Point 8

“There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.

UNILAD has contacted Suzanna's Kitchen for a comment.

Nobody’s getting sick yet, but the kitchen cleanup is already in full swing.
