This is true but misleading. All of this stuff is driven by Chipotle having to deal with food safety issues at scale. They've had so many scandals that boil down to local managers skip food safety and they gave up and just made it impossible. Chipotle pre-cuts and washes basically all the vegetables for speed and so you can't not wash them. They also sous vide the steak for the same reasons. They still cook the chicken in-house because par-cooking the chicken actually makes it more susceptible to salmonella. The only one that isn't defendable is they stopped making the red and green salsa in house because they decided they were going to be a trade secret.
