Chipotle Removes Jalapeños Amid US Salmonella Outbreak Investigation The latest development in the ongoing saga of foodborne illnesses at Chipotle Mexican Grill is a stark reminder that even well intentioned efforts to protect public health can have unintended consequences.
The company has removed jalapeños from some of its restaurants after identifying the peppers as a potential source of salmonella contamination.
Chipotle's decision comes after an outbreak in Minnesota, which has sickened 110 people and been linked to several different food sources.
