Health officials have inspected three Chipotle restaurants in Powell, Ohio, following reports from customers who said they got sick after eating at the restaurants.

In two of the restaurants, inspectors found boxes of raw chicken "leaning" on other packaged foods, according to health records.

The violations come as Chipotle has spent millions of dollars on measures to improve food safety.

The Delaware General Health District on Thursday found "boxes of raw chicken partially leaning onto boxes of packaged foods" at the Chipotle restaurant at 9733 Sawmill Parkway that's at the center of a suspected illness outbreak, according to health records. The proximity of the raw chicken to other foods presented a risk of contamination, the report said.

Following a visit to another Chipotle, at 8695 Owenfield Dr., on Wednesday, inspectors wrote that a "box of raw chicken" was "observed up against boxes of unopened beans and very close to ready-to-eat items."

Inspectors also found foods that were not being held at proper temperatures.

In an emailed statement to Business Insider, a Chipotle spokeswoman, Laurie Schalow, said: "Food safety is our number one priority and we are proud of the industry leading practices and training we have in place across our system. These instances where two SEALED packaged products were next to each other in the walk-in refrigerator were immediately remedied."

DGHD said late Thursday that it had received 703 calls and emails concerning potential illnesses stemming from the Chipotle restaurant on Sawmill Parkway. Officials have tested customers' stool samples but have not identified a source of the suspected illness outbreak and are conducting further testing. The location temporarily shut down on Monday for cleaning and reopened on Tuesday. No customers who ate at the restaurant since Tuesday have reported becoming ill.

DGHD has also received three reports of possible illnesses stemming from two other Chipotle locations — the restaurant on Owenfield Drive and another at 1710 Columbus Pike — prompting inspections of both.

I'm probably gonna get a lot of flak for this, but I'm definitely one of those loyal customer type people; I used to eat at Chipotle twice a week. As much as I love their food and think they're a great company, I can;t help but find this hilarious, they can't seem to catch a break with their health code problems.

In other restaurant news: McDonald's new burger is surprisingly not shit, Taco Bell Nacho Fries are still badass, the Outback near my house now delivers, and I'm one visit away from a free appetizer at Hooters.

Lol I have good insider perspective on this:

Chipotle is probably one of the cleanest and strictest restaurants when it comes to health/safety. The food is all prepared fresh every morning, ingredients shipped twice a week, and we use a lot of items that have potential to get people sick if not stored/cooked properly(raw chicken, limes, bell peppers, onions, etc) basically there’s HUGE room for error everyday.

The higher up people are actually so strict with healthiness/cleanliness that we have two different companies that come twice every 2-3 months to judge and inspect chipotle. They judge literally everything, they check the temperature of the water we wash our hands with and make sure it’s 100 degrees all the time for the correct amount of time. Check the temp of every food, check the sanitizer solution, watch the employees for any kind of violation, etc. like a food inspector on steroids

If we fail (85% or lower is a fail) twice, the entire management team is fired along with the crew that was working that shift. That means everyone could get fired for not closing the sink with a paper towel or not switching a food on the line fast enough even if it’s an accident

Not trying to excuse whatever happened I know a lot of people get sick from chipotle but whatever happened there specifically came out of pure laziness/disregard from those workers and guarantee the entire restaurant was fired and replaced smh. It is a huge stress that seems to get tighter and tighter for managers etc feel really bad for them

My roommates don't do the dishes when they use them and I refuse to clean the dishes for them so I'm forced to eat out literally every night.

I'm in the same boat, having to wash literally everything you need to prepare food every single time you cook is pretty frustrating.
