On January 16, 2026, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a product recall by a food processing company.

The affected product is labeled under the Fit Foodz brand and is packaged as “Grilled Chicken Breast Fillet with Rib Meat.” The recalled items are packed in ten-pound cases, each containing two five-pound bags. Both the case and the inner packaging are marked with the lot code 60104 P1382 287 5 J14, and display the USDA inspection mark with establishment number P-1382.These products were transported to distribution centers for foodservice sales — rather than directly to retailers — in seven states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio. The issue was discovered after a third-party laboratory test returned a positive result for Lm in a sample of the ready-to-eat chicken fillets.While there have been no confirmed illnesses linked to the product as of now, Listeria can pose serious health risks. Consumers who are concerned about potential symptoms are urged to seek medical attention.
