Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc which is trying to recover from a series of food-borne illness outbreaks, temporarily shut a Massachusetts restaurant after four employees fell sick.

The restaurant in the town of Billerica, outside Boston, was closed for a full cleaning, company spokesman Chris Arnold said by email.

Chipotle's shares fell 3.8 percent to $504.50 in extended trading.

"No customer illnesses are connected to this restaurant. Any employee who reported feeling ill will be held out of the restaurant until they fully recover," Arnold added.

Chipotle is trying to repair its reputation after suffering several food-related illnesses, including two E.Coli outbreaks that sickened about 50 people in 14 states and two separate norovirus outbreaks in Massachusetts and California.

The Massachusetts health department confirmed that the restaurant was closed voluntarily and that no customers were known to be sick, according to a Bloomberg report. (bloom.bg/1RQsaYH)


I'm not sure if they are being overly cautious or if they legitimately suck.

In that respect, Chipotle is lucky that they in no way qualify as a Mexican restaurant.

frick Chipotle. This is payback for not having queso or fresh jalapenos and charging for chips and salsa.

Because they somehow convinced the public that a burrito the size of a football is healthy for you.

Because its damn delicious.

I have eaten there probably 200+ times and never gotten remotely ill.

The same can't be said for Izzo's which has caused me to total a couple of toilets I think

I've eaten there once, and got VERY ill. The sight of a Chipotle sign makes me nauseous.

I swear it's probably one of the instructional videos they use in training.

"Do you know what the secret ingredient is to make Chipotle the best food in the world? Yep! You guessed it! Fecal matter."

While I agree with that sentiment, and am fully a Barberitos Heavy D on spinach man myself, Chipotle's barbacoa is the only reason to go there IMO.
