Employees serve customers at the first Chipotle fast-food restaurant in northeastern Mexico on its opening day in San Pedro Garza Garcia, July 16, 2026. Chipotle Mexican Grill said Tuesday it temporarily pulled jalapenos from restaurants in Minnesota after learning that their supply may have been linked to a salmonella outbreak. The stock reaction indicates investors see the news as a callback to Chipotle's past as the poster child for food safety issues. The ongoing cyclospora outbreak has led to more than 6,700 cases confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Though Chipotle does not serve any ingredients linked to the cyclospora outbreak, the company said concerns about the foodborne illness affected its sales in the second half of July.
