NEWS: Chipotle Mexican Grill Goes rBGH-Free

Fajita Salad
Enjoy a fajita without the tortilla.		   By the end of the year, Chipotle Mexican Grill will be the first national restaurant chain to eliminate rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone—click the link to read more about it) entirely from its menu. Last year, Chipotle began serving rBGH-free sour cream and has been shifting to rBGH-free cheese over the past few months. Though eating a Chipotle burrito isn’t exactly a low-calorie meal (see the Chipotle Nutrition Calculator here), the restaurant chain is committed to its “Food With Integrity” mission.
Chipotle serves more meat raised without antibiotics and added growth hormones, and a fed a pure vegetarian diet, than any restaurant in the world. Additionally, 25% of the black and pinto beans Chipotle serves are organically grown. And, you can get your burrito or fajita in a bowl—no tortilla. Just watch out for that chipotle-honey vinaigrette!
