DENVER — Chipotle Mexican Grill has announced that it is serving naturally raised beef in all 44 of its Minnesota restaurants. All of Chipotle's naturally raised beef, pork and chicken comes from animals that are raised humanely, never given antibiotics or added hormones and fed a pure vegetarian diet.

Beyond its use of naturally raised meat, all of the dairy products Chipotle serves are made with milk from cows that are not treated with the synthetic hormone rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone), which is used to stimulate milk production in dairy cows. And 25 percent of all of its beans are organically grown, an amount that increases annually as additional supply becomes available.
