Chipotle says it stopped serving pork at hundreds of its restaurants after suspending a supplier that violated its standards.
Chris Arnold, a spokesman for the Mexican food chain, told The Associated Press it's the first time the company stopped serving a topping for its burritos and bowls. He said Chipotle learned of the violation by the supplier on Friday through a routine audit, and did not have a timeline for when carnitas would return to affected stores, about a third of its total base.
NO it not that we got new state law that deal with humane treatment for animals
Blame my state hippie guru Governor Jerry Brown
moonbeam wants to give pets..and farm animals .drivers licenses
I assume that Chipotle is a mexican restourant?
And because Mexicans never use pork in their meals, this just completely makes sense...right?
Bend-over capitulists!
I doubt that. Carnitas might be their best-selling meat topping. If they stop selling that, they'll lose a helluva lot more business than they'd lose by offending Muslims.
That means they’re going vegan, then?
Wow, you’re soooooo perceptive and sooooooooo right.
A Mexican restaurant that didn’t serve carnitas would go broke in a few days.
.
It sound like they try do vegan menu that going be EPIC Fail
i heard this earlier today, apparently it is a “Quality Control Issue” A.K.A.,
they got contaminated pork.
Heard it on the radio this after.
Just why in the hell would I even care?
They are just looking for some free press and the MSM will line up to report it.
Get in line sheeple, here is another spoonful to eat before your cast your vote for American Idol...
And marriage licenses.
First they ban firearms, no pork?
There is nothing I want or need from Chipotle.
Thanks to whiners moving out of the city to the countryside, raising a large number of hogs outdoors is now a no-no.
And now they whine about large hog confinement operations down the road because they might smell them one day a month.
“Chipotle — Halal since 2015”
No worries ... pork will be back soon enough. The Mexicans don’t care what the Muslims think? ... :-) ...
No I think that the hogs were ‘mistreated’. I think.
Chipotle appears to be branching out to vegans. If you order an organic tofu Sofritas on Monday, Jan. 26th at any Chipotle in the US or Canada, you can bring the receipt back on your next visit (Jan 27th through Feb. 28th, 2015) for a free burrito, bowl, salad or taco
organic tofu Sofrita?
my my... doesn't that sound yummy
I will say in Indiana this has changed a lot. Family sized hog farms are pretty much gone replaced by ginormous production operations.
The average # hogs on one location has gone from 900 to 9000 since the early 90s.
That’s a LOT of manure in one place.
Oy vey! All I heard was on ABC news feed that the pork was “bad”!
