Chipotle Becomes 1st Major Restaurant Chain To Serve Only GMO-Free Food

"From the tortillas to the salsa to the chips and marinades, everything served at Chipotle will now be GMO-free.

Starting Monday, the Mexican fast food chain will only serve food that’s devoid of genetically modified ingredients, The New York Times reports. This will be a first for a major restaurant chain.

'This is another step toward the visions we have of changing the way people think about and eat fast food,' the company’s co-CEO Steve Ells told the Times. 'Just because food is served fast doesn’t mean it has to be made with cheap raw ingredients, highly processed with preservatives and fillers and stabilizers and artificial colors and flavors.'"
