Outbreak of E.Coli Linked to Chipotle in the States of Washington and Oregon.

I eat at Chipotle once in a while, when I need a fast meal that  know is safe from gluten. Chipotle only has 1 item with gluten, which is the flour tortilla. If asked, the employees will change their gloves and the food ladles to avoid cross contamination. That being said, I will avoid eating there until this issue is resolved.

Two of those people hadn't eaten at Chipotle so authorized are investigating the companies that deliver food to Chipotle in hopes of finding the source.
