Hi, Billy Mays here for Chipotlaway! Are you tired of jalapeños from Chipotle giving you diarrhea?
Chipotle has taken jalapeños off the menu, as salmonella has taken over the spicy peppers, particularly ones from Sinaloa, Mexico.
From the NYP:
Another nasty foodborne illness is rapidly spreading across the country, sickening 345 people in 27 states so far — as the deadly explosive diarrhea-causing cyclosporiasis outbreak is still running rampant.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is monitoring a salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeños sourced from Mexico and supplied by California-based Coast Citrus Distributors to restaurants like Qdoba and Chipotle, both of which announced they were proactively removing the peppers from their menus.
Colorado and Minnesota represent the majority of cases so far, with 110 each, while Illinois has 30 confirmed cases and Kansas has 13. Minnesota health officials said among those sickened in the state, 89% had eaten at Chipotle between June 14 and July 14.
I'm starting to think that we can avoid explosive diarrhea epidemics by avoiding all food from Mexico.
Coast Citrus says a recall is coming and the FDA is checking to see if any of these diarrhea peppers made it into grocery stores.
(Imagine your extremely affordable burrito from the grocery store being laced with salmonella!)
In summary, we've got explosive diarrhea from iceberg lettuce via cyclosporiasis and now we've got more in the salmonella-laced jalapeños from Mexico.
What a summer!
