CDC investigating another chipotle E.coli outbreak


The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is investigating another, more recent outbreak of E.coli linked to Chipotle Mexican Grill.

The latest outbreak includes five cases in Kansas, North Dakota, which had one case each and Oklahoma, which had three cases, the CDC said. The illnesses started between Nov. 18 and Nov. 26, 2015, the CDC said.

All of those who got sick beforehand reported eating at Chipotle in the week before they got sick, officials said.

“We have indicated before that we expected that we may see additional cases stemming from this, and CDC is now reporting some additional cases,” the company said in a statement. “Since this issue began, we have completed a comprehensive reassessment of our food safety programs with an eye to finding best practices for each of the ingredients we use.”
