Chipotle removes Mexican peppers related to salmonella cases in Minnesota, USA.

After learning that the Mexican peppers may be linked to a salmonella outbreak in Minnesota, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. removed the product from multiple locations in Minnesota. In assisting the Minnesota Department of Health with the investigation into the outbreak, the chain restaurant withdrew the suspected contaminated Mexican peppers from all stores that received the batch. The full extent of the salmonella outbreak and the source of contamination remain unclear. Other states are also involved in the investigation, and there is evidence that customers who dined at other Mexican-style restaurants have also shown symptoms of illness. Following this news, Chipotle's stock price fell 8.5% during trading in New York on Tuesday, marking the largest intraday drop since October 30, 2025.
