Chipotle plans to close all of its restaurants for a short period of time on Feb. 8 while it convenes a company-wide meeting to discus food safety following successive food poisoning outbreaks that made hundreds of people across the country sick.
Chipotle, which pressured other fast food chains to be more health-conscious by serving fresher and less-processed food, has been slow to recover from a salmonella outbreak , an E. coli outbreak and a norovirus outbreak .
Chipotle spokesperson Chris Arnold told The Chicago Tribune that Chipotle hired a food safety expert, has started testing produce before shipping it to stores and plans to kick off a campaign next month to rehabilitate its image.
