LA Chipotle Investigated After People Get Diarrhea: Report

LOS ANGELES, CA -- A Chipotle in Los Angeles is reportedly under investigation after customers said they vomited or had diarrhea after eating at the Mexican food chain. The Business Insider reported the incident happened at 4550 W. Pico Blvd.

"Several people who said they recently ate at the Pico Boulevard Chipotle reported symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea to the website iwaspoisoned.com, which allows people to anonymously report suspected foodborne illnesses," Business Insider reported. "In total, five reports on the website indicate at least seven customers fell sick after eating there around December 13."

The city's Health Department confirmed to the news site that it was "aware of reports of illness and is investigating."

Whereas, a spokesman for Chipotle told the Business Insider that "there is no clinical validation associated with those reports, and we have not been contacted by customers directly to substantiate these claims."
