Minnesota woman sues Chipotle after being hospitalized for salmonella

In the lawsuit, the woman claims she was hospitalized with 'a life-threatening complication of the salmonella infection caused by Chipotle's grossly contaminated food.'

Over 300 people have been infected with Salmonella from jalapeño peppers sourced from Mexico, according to federal health officials

A Minnesota woman says she fainted, spiked a 102-degree fever, and was hospitalized with sepsis three days after eating a chicken burrito bowl at a Chipotle in Roseville, and genetic testing connected her case to a multistate outbreak, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The lawsuit spawns from a salmonella outbreak linked to more than 200 people who consumed food containing tainted jalapenos at Mexican restaurants in Minnesota and Colorado.

Mexican fast-food chain Chipotle is replacing jalapeños at some of its eateries amid a salmonella outbreak in Minnesota, the company said Tuesday.
