• 70% of processed foods have Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) – the food industry fought against having to label foods as GMO and won

“Should We Care About Genetically Modified Foods?” by John N. Shaw appeared in Food Safety News issue of February 1, 2010, as a feature under the health section on the controversy between the pros and cons of genetically modified foods (Also known as GMO, genetically modified organisms). The main idea of this article is to inform people of the benefits of GMOs . The author, John Shaw received his Bachelor of Science degree in Finance with a minor in Marketing from the University of Arkansas in 2007, where he was a “leadership scholar.” In addition to his studies, he has worked as a research assistant with Food Law LL.M. Director Susan Schneider, interned with Wal-Mart Government and Corporate Affairs division, the Arkansas Attorney General Public Protection Division, and with United States Senator Blanche Lincoln. John has a passion for Food Law, sports, and outdoors. In the article, he states, “ I submit that I am no scientist; merely an interested student.” According to the article, he is passionate and has done sufficient research about the topic to support his argument.

Taco Bell branding may be damaged since nongovernmental organizations found «Cry9c» protein in Taco Bell branded products sold in grocery stores nationwide. Despite this, Taco Bell does not have any relationship to the production of these shells from genetically modified corn; these taco's are distributed by Kraft Food Inc., who has the right to use the Taco Bell trade name. Taco Bell, in order to prevent a decrease in demand for their products and retain customers, should assertively save their brand. Taco Bell should immediately contact Kraft to discuss the issue both companies are involved in and figure out what is the best strategy to address for each company. To ensure that Kraft manages the situation appropriately, the Marketing department of Taco Bell should call in to Kraft on a daily basis to see the process of taco shells removal from the market. Moreover, Taco Bell should follow the updated news from the media about

According to a January 2012 lawsuit against Frito-Lay filed by Chris Shake, “modified organisms are created artificially in a laboratory by swapping genetic material across species to exhibit traits not naturally theirs (Dye)." The lawsuit also argues that the labeling of snack foods such as Tostitos and Sun Chips as “all-natural” should not be permitted sine they are made from genetically engineered corn and oils. In my opinion, “all-natural” means the ingredients can be found in nature, not in a Petri dish.

GMOs are present in many everyday food products, such examples of products are dairy products, meats, nuts, vegetables, fruits, etc. Some companies tell you if the product is organic or if it has been genetically modified. Frito-Lay is not one of those companies. Frito-Lay has used GMOs when it blatantly states that its products are all natural. How can a company state that its products are all natural if they use corn, 85% of which is genetically modified, for such chips as Tostitos and Sunchips. They hide this information knowing well enough that there would be backlash from consumers. This angered quite a few

Did you know that 80% of the food packages sold in the United States have GMOs in them? Its true! Imagine going to the store simply for a can of beans, or even just a chocolate bar. There may be a good chance that the food product selected contains GMOs.

Additionally, support for local and organic farming has shown a decrease in fast food sales. Recently fast food giant, Mcdonalds, has had to close nearly 700 restaurants due to lack of sales (Wahba). The general public is speaking out more and is stating they want fewer additives and more “real” food to be convenient. According to the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION “GMO’s or “Genetically Modifies Organisms” are organisms in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not naturally occur”. The actual effects of GMO’s in food have had extensive research done to confirm suspicions that they are hazardous to the human body and are not suitable for consumption. Chipotle was the first fast food chain to disclose any artificial ingredients

In the past Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. has put up many ads on huge billboards. There is one ad in particular that stakes a claim about it’s ranking of their ingredients among competitors. The ad reads “WE WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT OUR LOCALLY SOURCED NATURAL INGREDIENTS, BUT SHORT BILLBOARD HEADLINES ARE BETTER” (Liebelson). Although Chipotle is claiming that the quality of their ingredients are better, it leaves the consumer wondering what exactly is so good about the products that go into their foods. It is wrong that more information about Chipotle and their ingredients aren’t found on the ad as it may cause a lot of misunderstanding and deception amongst the consumers. These people may think that they’re eating the best and healthiest ingredients but in actuality they are taking in food that has caused many health issues in the past.

The food industry is always going to have some sort of problem. Not a restaurant known to mankind, has never had no problems at all. People over shot the entire ordeal with and around the Chipotle in Simi Valley. However, I am sympathetic for the ones whom may have gotten sick from the meats or whatever may have caused it.

The debate over genetically modified foods continues to haunt producers and consumers alike. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are foods that have been modified through bioengineering to possess certain characteristics. These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or increased nutritional content (Whitman, 2000). The debate continues to grow as to whether these genetically altered foodstuffs are the answer to hunger in the coming years, or whether we are simply children playing with something that we do not have the capacity to understand. One of the biggest debates in the GMO issue is whether producers need to use labeling of

Nonetheless, after Chipotle has been faced by the closure of its main premises, its main responsibility is to allocate the funds to those countries which indeed require

Chipotle has been given a subpoena, which is an order to attend court, because they’re under investigation for a norovirus incident at a Simi Valley restaurant. In a filing with Securities and Exchange Commission, Chipotle is required to produce a “broad range of documents” related to the isolated incident in August. The investigation is being conducted by the U.S attorney’s office for the Central District of California in conjunction with the FDA. Chris Arnold, Chipotle spokesman, email that the franchise would cooperate fully in the investigation, but the company does not discuss pending legal actions as matter of policy. First the E.coli outbreak, now the norovirus, Chipotle is under a lot of fire as is loses over 30% of profits.

GMO is banned in many countries due to the effects it has on people and animals. In multiple studies GMO’s have been linked to causing significant health issues in female rat’s uterus and reproductive system. Being that rats are closely similar to us, it was no surprise study’s showed that in humans the key ingredient in GMO which is soy kills the outer layer of the placentas cells in females, which is the organ that connects the fetus to his mother. Conversely, Chipolte is makes it extremely known that they are not supporters of GMO grown food and therefore, do not sell it to their consumers. Leaving their loyal customers with nothing but all natural, GMO free, and preservative free food that is safe and guaranteed fresh with every

All foods made with genetically modified ingredients made in restaurants should be properly labeled and advertised as such. Not labelling genetically modified meals ordered at restaurants could cause customers to break organic diets and may cause an uproar in the community resulting in a loss of customers. Restaurants such as Chipotle clearly advertise their foods as non-gmo on their websites and restaurants to let consumers know that their food truly is not made up of genetically modified material. Other restaurants should follow in their footsteps and clearly advertise whether their foods contain genetically modified organisms or not.

The purpose of this report is to present a strategic plan created for Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG). The strategic planning process began with an internal analysis to better understand Chipotle’s current mission and vision statement, and its effectiveness in leading current strategy and performance, and included analysis of Chipotle’s strengths and weaknesses, and trending financial position.
