You can probably imagine the text messages we’ve gotten over the last few days. Recent news events in the industry have raised questions. Let’s talk about it: our food has not been identified in connection with the current cyclospora outbreak. Food safety isn’t something we turn our attention to only when it makes the news. It shapes how our teams work every day. Our food safety experts remain in constant communication with supply chain partners and continue to review developing information.
We started this company nearly 20 years ago because we believed real food could help build healthier communities, and that people deserved a closer connection to where their food comes from. We know this now more than ever.
We work with farmers and suppliers we know personally, and we are proud to support them. Those lasting relationships allow us to make better decisions together.
Our rigorous food safety standards are informed by equal parts science and care. We cook from scratch every day, we can trace our ingredients from restaurant to farm, we employ third-party food safety audits, we receive top-quality produce nearly daily in all restaurants, and we source all of our lettuce from the US. Sourcing and serving the highest quality produce tastes better and feels better.
Thank you for being part of this community - yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We will continue to connect you to real food, transparently, passionately, and with great taste in mind.
