Federal prosecutors called the penalty the "largest fine ever imposed in a food-safety case."
Popular fast casual restaurant Chipotle Mexican Grill agreed to pay a $25 million criminal fine stemming from norovirus outbreaks that sickened customers from 2015 to 2018, prosecutors said Tuesday.
“This settlement represents an acknowledgment of how seriously Chipotle takes food safety every day and is an opportunity to definitively turn the page on past events,” company chairman and CEO Brian Niccol said in a statement. The Boston incident in December 2015 sickened several members of the Boston College Eagles basketball team.
