Chipotle's Food Safety Legacy Haunts Shareholders Again Chipotle Mexican Grill's stock fell nearly 10% on Tuesday due to a potential link to a salmonella outbreak in Minnesota.
The suspected culprit is jalapenos from a common lot, which have been temporarily pulled from Minnesota restaurants. The company's troubled past on food safety is well documented.
Between 2015 and 2018, at least five separate incidents led investors to question whether Chipotle had done enough to ensure the cleanliness of its ingredients.
