Chipotle has added Karro Food, a British pork supplier, to help ease a carnitas shortage that began when the company suspended one of its domestic suppliers for not meeting the company’s housing standards. As a result, the chain is adding carnitas back to the menu at its 100+ locations in Florida, reports Bloomberg News.
“The new pork is just getting into restaurants in Florida, and we’ll continue to add new markets in the coming months as our supply increases,” Chris Arnold, a spokesman for the Denver-based company, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg. “We expect to have carnitas back in all of our restaurants before the end of the year.”
