A salmonella outbreak is being investigated by public health officials, and Chipotle Mexican Grill has taken precautions. The company has removed jalapeños from some of its restaurants as a potential link to the outbreak is explored. The decision to pull the jalapeños was made out of an abundance of caution.

Chipotle has replaced them with peppers from different growers in all affected locations. Further details about the outbreak and the source of the initial jalapeños are available from the Minnesota Department of Health and other sources, including Chipotle's statement on the matter.
