USDA Announces Seven‑State Recall of Suzanna’s Kitchen Chicken Over Listeria Risk
Suzanna’s Kitchen of Norcross, Georgia has recalled about 13,720 pounds of ready‑to‑eat grilled chicken breast fillets after a third‑party lab test detected Listeria monocytogenes, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced. The cooked fillets, produced on Oct. 14, 2025, were shipped in 10‑pound cases (two 5‑pound bags each) to food‑service distribution centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio.
