How the Recall Was Detected
The potential contamination was identified after a third-party laboratory sample tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. While no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall, the USDA advised anyone concerned about a possible Listeria infection to contact a healthcare provider.
Health Risks
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause serious infections, especially in pregnant people, young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. In severe cases, the infection can spread beyond the gut.
What Food Service Operators Should Do
- Verify whether inventory includes the recalled 10-pound cases.
- Discard or return any affected items to the supplier.
- Notify the USDA if the items have already been served.
- Follow any additional guidance issued by Suzanna’s Kitchen.

USDA Guidance
The USDA is working with Suzanna’s Kitchen to remove the recalled inventory from food-service facilities. Operators who believe they have the recalled items are urged to discard them or return them to their supplier. The agency has advised that any potential Listeria infection should prompt a visit to a healthcare provider.
