Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) shares fell sharply Tuesday after Bloomberg reported that the chain had removed jalapeños from Minnesota restaurants over a suspected link to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 110 people in the state - while WaPo reports that the outbreak has spread to 15 states.
Minnesota said federal authorities are running a traceback on produce - including but not limited to jalapeños - potentially contaminated with Salmonella Javiana.
Bloomberg also reports that Michigan health officials were in contact with Taco Bell parent company Yum!
Brands about the cyclospora outbreak in early July, weeks before Taco Bell publicly alerted consumers.
Federal authorities didn't publicly connect Taco Bell to the outbreak until July 17.
