Chipotle Is Now Completely GMO-Free
Published at
Chipotle(NEW YORK) — The next time you go eat at Chipotle Mexican Grill, you can be assured that none of your food will contain genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
The Denver-based company announced on its website that it has changed its tortillas, making it the first national restaurant chain to cook with only non-GMO ingredients.
“This is another step toward the visions we have of changing the way people think about and eat fast food,” Chipotle founder and co-CEO Steve Ells told The New York Times Sunday. “Just because food is served fast doesn’t mean it has to be made with cheap raw ingredients, highly processed with preservatives and fillers and stabilizers and artificial colors and flavors.”
Two years ago, Chipotle became the first chain to voluntarily disclose which of its foods contained GMOs. Since then, the company has taken steps toward eliminating them, completing the transition with its new tortillas.
