The restaurant chain has replaced the peppers with product from another grower. The Minnesota Department of Health has identified 110 cases linked to the outbreak, with 75 of the 84 Minnesotans interviewed reporting they ate at Chipotle between June 14 and July 14. Chipotle acted out of an abundance of caution, removing the jalapeños and replacing them with product from different growers. The FDA initiated a traceback investigation on July 22, in response to a cluster of salmonella cases identified by the CDC and state officials. Chipotle has cooperated with public health authorities in their efforts.",
