Chipotle pulls jalapenos from some restaurants amid salmonella probe
Chipotle said it identified jalapeños from a common lot as a possible source and replaced them while investigators probe an outbreak that sickened 110 people.
- On Tuesday, Chipotle Mexican Grill removed jalapeños from Minnesota restaurants after learning the peppers may be linked to a Salmonella outbreak that has sickened 110 people.
- Chipotle spokesperson Laurie Schalow said the company's ingredient traceability system identified jalapeños from a common lot as a potential source, and the firm is cooperating with public health authorities.
- Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, with risks particularly high for young children and adults over 65, though most healthy individuals recover within four to seven days.
- Shares of Chipotle fell 7% in afternoon trading, as investors reacted to the news as a potential callback to the company's food safety incidents between 2015 and 2018.
- Health officials distinguish this Salmonella investigation from ongoing Cyclospora cases, which are caused by a separate parasite, with no indication the current outbreak is connected to other foodborne illnesses.
