📰 THE FULL STORY
Chipotle is replacing jalapeños at some restaurants amid a salmonella outbreak in Minnesota. About 110 people have been sickened in the state, and 75 of them had eaten at a Chipotle. Chipotle said the jalapeños in question were sent to several food service retailers across multiple states. After launching its ingredient traceability system, the chain zeroed in on the jalapeños and the locations where they ended up. Chipotle said it proactively removed the jalapeños and replaced them with product from different growers, and it declined to identify the supplier. Shares tumbled 10% on Tuesday.
⬅️ HOW THE LEFT COVERS IT
The New York Times frames the story around the corporate response, reporting that Chipotle removed jalapeños linked to a salmonella outbreak from its restaurants. Its headline foregrounds the company action and the tie to the outbreak. It leaves out the specific case count and stock reaction that other coverage emphasizes. (New York Times)

⚠️ WHAT THEY AREN'T TELLING YOU
Of the roughly 110 people sickened in Minnesota, 75 had eaten at a Chipotle. The company said the implicated jalapeños were sent to several food service retailers across multiple states, meaning exposure was not limited to Chipotle. Chipotle declined to identify the supplier behind the jalapeños.
