Chipotle Mexican Grill has resolved issues raised by nearly 100 customers who fell ill late last year in a series of outbreaks of E. Coli, norovirus and salmonella after eating at the restaurant chain. A lawyer representing 96 individuals said the Denver-based fast casual chain reached financial settlements with the customers, although at least one person also asked for free burritos to settle her case. An estimated 510 people were sickened through separate outbreaks of E. Coli (14 states), norovirus (two states) and salmonella (1 state) that began late last year. Chipotle sales have taken a deep dive throughout 2016 in the wake of the outbreaks and the company has changed many of its food-handling protocols in response to the situation.
