Snippet:
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) shares fell sharply Tuesday after Bloomberg reported that the chain had removed jalapeños from Minnesota restaurants over a suspected link to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 110 people in the state - while WaPo reports that the outbreak has spread to 15 states. Chipotle stock fell as much as 8.5% against Monday's close - some outlets clocked the low nearer 9% - and was trading roughly 7% lower in the afternoon.
