According the health officials in Oregon, the E. coli incident at the fast-casual chain has sickened 37 people, up from previous estimate of at least 22 people. The E. coli episode has led to the temporary closure of 43 Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. “We are looking at everything, but our epidemiology investigation is guiding us toward produce,” said Jonathan Modie, a spokesman for the Oregon Public Health Division, adding that Chipotle has meat products but, based on conversation with victims, it appears the most common denominator is some kind of vegetable course.
