[...] But in their food safety meeting today, Chipotle has reportedly identified the culprit in its other norovirus outbreak: sick Chipotle employees. CNBC just reported the update from inside the nationwide restaurant meeting that shutdown all Chipotle’s simultaneously today. [...] there isn’t much mysterious about the spread of norovirus: It spreads from either person-to-person or from something (food, a countertop) that a sick person has touched. In other words, there was never really much real puzzlement on this subject. The root cause of the norovirus outbreak is almost always traced by the CDC back to sick employees. The bigger question for norovirus is then not what caused it but how to stop it—and the best way to do that is to let sick employees have the chance to stay home, without losing out on their paycheck. Until now, Chipotle employees only get two days of paid sick leave—not much time to get over a bout of stomach flu. Chipotle’s new guidelines say paid sick leave is now being expanded—though by how much isn’t specified. Employees at the meeting were reportedly told to watch out especially for “nausea, vomiting, explosive diarrhea, yellowing of the skin and eyes and dark urine,” any and all of which sound like excellent cause for several sick days.

All of these employees in all of these locations all of a sudden had outbreaks that only struck Chipotle stores because of sick employees. No Taco Bells or Jack in the Boxes or McDonalds were affected. Sure, Uh huh. Chipotle's Food Poisoning Issue Is Nationwide. Here's A Map. Huffington Post 12/10/2015 At least 120 Boston College students who ate at a local Chipotle last weekend have been sickened in an outbreak of the highly contagious norovirus, the most common cause of food-related disease outbreaks in the U.S. It was already a tough year for the fast-casual burrito chain. At last count, 52 people across nine states have also been sickened by a separate Chipotle-connected outbreak of E. coli. This illness, distinct from norovirus, is caused by consuming food contaminated with E. coli bacteria, leading to symptoms that include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, according to the Mayo Clinic. In addition to the E. coli and Boston norovirus outbreaks, Chipotle is facing lawsuits from a previous norovirus infection in California and a salmonella outbreak in Minnesota in August that affected at least 64 people... The industrial sabotage conspiracy theory makes more sense than this
Chipotle's Food Poisoning Issue Is Nationwide. Here's A Map. People keep eating at Chipotle, people keep getting sick. Certainly, Chipotle has a well-defined problem. If it was only local virus outbreaks, there would be outbreaks tied to the other franchise chains and other retailers. Food processing or food handling procedures. Either way, those are systemic issues and Chipotle will almost certainly end up with big lawsuits, especially if people in fragile health die from Chipotle-related illness. There could be criminal liability for Chipotle execs as well. Chipotle's legal team and executives have strong incentive to try to blame something, anything really, other than their own food handling and food processing. The more they can deflect the blame onto the employees, the less likely they get hit with massive punitive damages in civil lawsuits.

No what makes sense is a problem in food processing
