Chipotle Mexican Grill has taken precautions in response to a potential link between jalapeños and a salmonella outbreak. The company removed jalapeños from some restaurants as a safety measure. The decision was made after determining that the peppers could be tied to the outbreak being investigated by public health officials.

Jalapeños are used in several Chipotle menu items, including salsa and guacamole. Further details about the source of the initial peppers and the extent of the removal are available from the company's statement, which prioritizes the health and safety of guests and employees.
