Chipotle is temporarily closing all of its restaurants on February 8

Following an outbreak in California last August, dozens have reported illness after diving into burritos in nine states, with episodes of salmonella and norovirus as well as E. coli.

Embattled Mexican fast-casual chain Chipotle said it would shut down each one of its more than 1,900 stores nationwide for a few hours in February to hold a continental food safety meeting.

Ells remains confident that customers will come back to Chipotle when they regain confidence in the restaurant chain. Now Chipotle has overhauled its preparation process to take additional precautions, like washing and cutting organic lettuce prior to shipping; shredding cheese and cutting tomatoes before the ingredients reach stores; and blanching onions, avocados, and jalapeños in boiling water. After a month and half of outbreak-free news, Chipotle believes that the Centers of Disease Control will soon call an end to the outbreak.
