Chipotle has removed jalapeños potentially linked to a salmonella outbreak that affected customers in Minnesota, replacing them with peppers from another supplier. The outbreak has resulted in 110 reported cases, with many individuals having dined at Chipotle between June 14 and July 14. The Minnesota Department of Health confirmed it has no ongoing concerns with the chain, which is cooperating with investigations from public health authorities and the FDA, looking into multiple ingredients related to the cases.
As a result of heightened food safety concerns following this and a recent cyclospora outbreak, Chipotle’s stock fell by nearly 9%. While health officials believe the outbreak could continue if contaminated items are served elsewhere, they do not anticipate specific dangers from Chipotle’s current practices.
