The Chipotle on University is closed today
Along with every other Chipotle in the country
You may have to rearrange your lunch plans, because Chipotle will be closed from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in order to implement a new food safety program.
In an attempt of recovery after the company’s fight against E. coli, Chipotle will be training staff on food preparation and handling changes, according to Fortune 500.
Here are a few of the major adjustments:
- Items like tomatoes, lettuce, and bell peppers will be prepared in central kitchens.
- Items like cilantro are to be marinated in citrus juice for extra layer of food safety (and flavor).
- Company food tracing system will allow them to track all ingredients.
- Stores will undergo regular inspections by local government health officials.
Fortunately, the CDC has declared the battle against this food-ruining bacteria as over, according to recent Food Safety News.
Chipotle will live tweet this national employee meeting through @ChipotleTweets.
Due to the inconvenience Chipotle is giving it’s customers free burrito coupons today only until 6 p.m. if they text RAINCHECK to 888222.
