Chipotle: No pork at a third of restaurants
MYFOXDC.COM ^ | 01-14-2015

Chipotle says it stopped serving pork at hundreds of its restaurants after suspending a supplier that violated its standards.

Chris Arnold, a spokesman for the Mexican food chain, told The Associated Press it's the first time the company stopped serving a topping for its burritos and bowls. He said Chipotle learned of the violation by the supplier on Friday through a routine audit, and did not have a timeline for when carnitas would return to affected stores, about a third of its total base.

I don't eat there either, and you are right.

This has nothing to do with Mulims being offended and everything to do with you doing what they tell you to do. It starts with restaurants and schools and ends with them gaining access to the legislature and putting their desires into law. Religion is their cloak of protection.

This is so stinkin' obvious.

I’ll take the smell of hog manure over chicken chit anyday.

I’m north of Indy in farm country and can seldom smell the relatively small hog facility a mile or so south of me.

With the cost of a modern hog barn, it’s amazing pork is as cheap as it is.

LOL

Good to have licenses, though. My Keeshond drove without one.

(Actually, the breed was known as Cheese Dogs, accompanying Dutch farmers with those big wheels of cheese in little boats on the foggy canals. When the boats got to close to the rocky canal sides, the Kees-honds barked warnings.)

My girl had to be kept in a cage in the backseat, or she’d stand in the passenger seat with her paws on the dashboard full time. Big fluffy beastie girl, I couldn’t see around her.

Everybody likes to beat up on the Chipotle's, but this is a high-energy restaurant chain that packs in the young, hip and trendy crowd.

With its spartan interiors, hardwood floors, high loft-like ceilings, exposed infrastructure, butcher block tables and chairs, a super friendly over-caffeinated staff (they take their breaks at a nearby Starbucks) and all the stainless steel, it is highly conducive for the fast-moving high-tech clientele to grab a quick and nutritious meal.

Patrons come into Chipotles bristling with the latest and greatest consumer gadgets. Phablets, iPhones, Androids, Google glasses, you name it. The fast-paced atmosphere is conducive to texting and twittering your fellow humans as you wolf down your adobo-marinated steak burrito with cilantro-lime rice.

We are so fortunate to be living in these times. We should be thanking Chipotles and not ridiculing them.

I’ve been to one maybe a half dozen times, it’s a good value for the price and really not that much more than most burger joints. It’s about 10 miles away, so we don’t get there too often.

And because Mexicans never use pork in their meals

Seriously? Carnitas is not a Mexican dish?

My boss is Muslim.
He eats pork
I don’t think it is a big deal.

I like Chipotle OK.

But Chronic Tacos is the best IMO. Only in Cali though. Too bad.

The pork will be back. It is a staple in Mexican food.

I agree. My choice is the carnitas when we go to Chipoltle.

Short term I’ll order chicken. Long term I’ll go some place else.

“they got contaminated pork.”

Not true.
They require some hippie style guidelines how the hogs are raised; things that are animal welfare related. How much space the animals have and how happy the animals are; etc.

From I read; there are record keeping shortfalls in that area from some of the pork suppliers.
Nothing to do with any health or safety attributes of the pork.

I was kidding. I know they are doing it in deference to Muslims. Cowards.

I go there because of their emphasis on healthy good quality foods. I can get a tasty salad made to order where all of the foods are on my diet. I appreciate that there is a “fast” food place I can go where I don’t have to worry about “what’s in this.”

In New York City on Tuesday, a sign on the door of a Chipotle location stated, “SORRY, NO CARNITAS.”

Most of the issues related to the violations concerned the “housing for the pigs”. Chipotle demands that its suppliers raise pigs in humane conditions with access to the outdoors, rather than in cramped pens.

On other occasions, Chipotle customers may have noticed signs saying a restaurant is serving meat that doesn’t meet the company’s “responsibly raised” standards.
