Chipotle Debuts Bacon-Free Pinto Beans
- Consumerist, Tuesday, September 24, 2013 8 AM
Chipotle's new pinto beans are sans lard. After a shutterbug snapped a shot of a package saying its new pinto bean recipe doesn't use bacon, even though the overhead sign said beans contain bacon, the company confirmed the change: “We are phasing in a new bacon-less pinto bean recipe around the country. In testing some recipes, we simply didn’t think the bacon added anything and, by removing it, we make the pinto beans vegetarian,” a spokesman tells Consumerist.
