It's not known exactly when the partnership started or how widely the platform has been deployed, but it comes amid a particularly disastrous period for food safety.

Chipotle was not directly impacted by the turbo diarrhea outbreak or the related recall, since it doesn’t serve iceberg lettuce. In July, however, it proactively stopped serving jalapenos from a particular supplier that was linked to a salmonella outbreak that went on to sicken more than 430 people.
