Chipotle Mexican Grill's announcement about the jalapeno peppers they serve is good news for their customers, and it should serve as a reminder to us all.
On their website they state, "We are serving only U.S.-grown jalapeno peppers. The government is asking restaurants and food retailers to dispose of any jalapeno peppers from Mexico. All of the jalapenos we are using are grown in the U.S. Because your safety is our top priority, we are also cooking all of the jalapeno peppers that we serve. For more information visit www.fda.gov ."
The U.S. government is currently thinking that most of the food-borne illness in the news the past few weeks is tied to jalapeno peppers from Mexico, but they also state that tomatoes are not officially off the hook yet. Like Chipotle Mexican Grill is doing, the best answer to stay safe if to throughly cook the peppers before eating them if they came from Mexico or if you don't know the country of origin. But, if you just must have a fresh jalapeno and/or tomato, then be sure and wash it real good before eating. We want you feeling great and back reading our blog again.
There will be another blog post about Chipotle Mexican Grill real soon, maybe even tomorrow. This restaurant chain is an amazing story, and we intend to let that story be the first newsletter on our support website. We'll let you know when it is ready. Thanks for being with us today!
