A serious health alert has been issued: Chicken products across seven states, including Ohio, are under recall due to potential listeria contamination. This situation underscores the importance of food safety and the potential risks lurking in our food supply. Let's break down the details to ensure you're informed and safe.
On January 18, 2026, WKRC reported that ready-to-eat grilled chicken breasts from Suzanna's Kitchen were recalled. The recall was prompted by a third-party lab test that revealed the presence of listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause a serious infection called listeriosis.
Specifically, the recall involves 13,720 pounds of product. The affected product is described as "10-lb. cases containing two 5 lb. bags of fully cooked grilled chicken breast fillets with rib meat, with lot code 60104 P1382 287 5 J14 on the side of the case and on the package."
Thankfully, at the time of the report, no illnesses related to the contaminated chicken had been reported. However, it's crucial to be vigilant about food safety to prevent potential health issues.
But here's where it gets controversial... While the article provides details about the recall, it doesn't offer specific instructions on how consumers can obtain a refund or what steps to take if they have the product. However, customers with questions about the recall were advised to contact Dawn Duncan, Customer Service Director, Suzanna’s Kitchen at dduncan@suzannaskitchen.com.
This situation highlights the importance of staying informed about food recalls and the potential dangers of foodborne illnesses. What are your thoughts on this?
