Every Chipotle restaurant now has a 3'x2' poster posted in the kitchen that lists the &quot;Top 7 Food Safety Things to Remember.&quot; These include: work healthy, work clean, keep produce safe, re-heat and cook food to correct temperatures, hold hot and cold foods at specified temperatures, maintain sanitary conditions, and call for help when needed.</span></p>\r\n<p><span class=\"font-size-16\">Looking at the supply chain, we have created new models which allow us to further mitigate risk, such as sous vide meats and secondary inhibitors in beans and corn. Additionally, we are contributing financial resources and industry expertise to assist smaller, local growers in enhancing their systems to meet our food safety standards as opposed to mandating requirements and walking away if they can’t be met. We also incentivize food safety as a performance measure in our restaurants for managers and crew members to achieve a quarterly bonus.</span></p>\r\n<p><span class=\"font-size-16\">From our expert panel that is the Food Safety Advisory Council, to our in-house nurses that provide guidance to our crew members every day, all of Chipotle’s team members are committed to pursuing the highest level of excellence when it comes to food safety. I am lucky to work with some of the country’s most established authorities to ensure our food safety standards continue to be best-in-class. By adapting techniques and protocols from the worlds of healthcare to fine dining, there is no doubt that Chipotle’s food safety work is cutting-edge.

Every Chipotle restaurant now has a 3'x2' poster posted in the kitchen that lists the "Top 7 Food Safety Things to Remember." These include: work healthy, work clean, keep produce safe, re-heat and cook food to correct temperatures, hold hot and cold foods at specified temperatures, maintain sanitary conditions, and call for help when needed.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-16">Looking at the supply chain, we have created new models which allow us to further mitigate risk, such as sous vide meats and secondary inhibitors in beans and corn. Additionally, we are contributing financial resources and industry expertise to assist smaller, local growers in enhancing their systems to meet our food safety standards as opposed to mandating requirements and walking away if they can’t be met. We also incentivize food safety as a performance measure in our restaurants for managers and crew members to achieve a quarterly bonus.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-16">From our expert panel that is the Food Safety Advisory Council, to our in-house nurses that provide guidance to our crew members every day, all of Chipotle’s team members are committed to pursuing the highest level of excellence when it comes to food safety.
