Chipotle alters cooking methods following E.coli outbreak
Williams noted that although the CDC can identify the location of restaurants that people ate in, Chipotle’s record-keeping is making it hard to “figure out what food is in common across all those restaurants”, the New York Times reports.

The restaurant says it plans to introduce DNA testing of ingredients to look for contamination and take additional steps to kill any bacteria in food.
The new outbreak cases have been reported less than a week after Steve Ells, Founder and Co-Chief Executive at Chipotle, released a letter to apologize for outbreak that has sickened many people in different states. In an apparently unrelated outbreak, dozens of Boston College students fell ill with norovirus after dining at a Chipotle location. “We are now in the process of implementing those programs”.
Shares of the popular burrito chain operator fell as much as 5 percent to a 17-month low of $495.76 on Tuesday. The company is also preparing ingredients, such as tomatoes, in a centralised kitchen where they can be washed, chopped and tested before being sent to restaurants. That outbreak includes 27 people in Washington and 13 in OR, along with three each in California and OH, two in Pennsylvania and Minnesota, and one each in Maryland and NY.
The FDA said it is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local officials.

Consumers and investors are trying to understand whether Chipotle (CMG.N) has solved its food problems and is a safe place to eat, and concerns have deepened since federal investigators on Monday said they were looking at what appeared to be a new Chipotle outbreak in late November. Because it is not known if these infections are related to the larger, previously reported outbreak of E. coli O26 infections, these illnesses are not being included in the case count for that outbreak.
