Federal food safety officials have announced a nationwide recall of approximately 62,550 pounds of fully cooked, bone-in, breaded chicken due to a critical labeling error. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) confirmed the recall was initiated by Georgia-based producer Suzanna’s Kitchen. The misbranding issue stems from the undeclared presence of soy, a common and potentially severe allergen, on the product’s packaging.

The affected chicken was prepared on October 16, 2025, and subsequently distributed to restaurants across the United States. The product is sold as an eight-piece cut and is packaged in 18 lb. cases, with each case containing four individual units. FSIS has identified the specific product by the case code “P 1380 126237 B30851 23:11 K04,” which is printed on the side of the box.

Officials express concern that some of this mislabeled chicken may still be present in restaurant kitchens nationwide, potentially posing a risk to consumers with soy allergies. Food service establishments that discover the recalled product are strongly urged to discard it immediately and refrain from serving it to customers under any circumstances to prevent any adverse reactions.

While there have been no confirmed reports of illness or allergic reactions linked to this specific recall, the FSIS emphasizes the importance of vigilance. The agency advises individuals who have consumed the product and are experiencing any concerning symptoms or have concerns about a potential allergic reaction to seek immediate medical attention from a healthcare provider.

The recall process was triggered after Suzanna’s Kitchen proactively notified the FSIS of the labeling oversight. This voluntary action by the company allowed federal authorities to swiftly issue the recall, aiming to mitigate any potential harm to susceptible consumers. The FSIS is actively monitoring the recall and working to ensure the complete removal of the product from circulation.

Food service operators are implored to meticulously check their inventory for the specified case code. The FSIS continues to work closely with Suzanna’s Kitchen to manage the recall effectively and protect public health. This incident highlights the critical importance of accurate allergen labeling in the food industry to safeguard consumers with dietary restrictions.
