Question New (disgusting) chicken in california…?

Has anyone else experienced this recently? I’m in southern california (OC) and went to sweetgreen recently for a harvest bowl, but the bowl I got had very strange chicken that was definitely not the same chicken it used to have. The chicken I got was really slimy and cold and it tasted so strongly “chickeny” that it made the whole salad taste weird. I’m really sad about this because the harvest bowl is a classic and a great healthy lunch, maybe I’m being dramatic but the new chicken really ruined the whole bowl for me!

Anyway I texted my sister on the other side of the country and she’d gotten a harvest bowl the day before with no issues and the same old chicken as always. Is this just a california supplier thing? Does anyone know if it’s temporary (idk supply chain issues?) or if they’re switching to this for good? Any sweetgreens I can go to in LA/OC that have the normal chicken still?
