In the fall, an E.Coli outbreak infected 53 people in 9 states, and later, 140 students at Boston College were infected with norovirus. The FDA and CDC began a joint investigation of Chipotle in December, speaking to the severity of the situation. Some customers are even beginning to sue.

Mark February 8th on your calendars for a day to do pizza or salad for lunch. Better yet, use Chipotle's closure as an opportunity to try real Mexican food.
