Chipotle on Wednesday assured that it won’t stop serving guacamole anytime soon, following a report in which the company warned that climate change could impact the prices and availability of some of its ingredients.
“This is strictly routine ‘risk factor’ language as part of the annual financial disclosure,” a Chipotle spokesman told Business Insider in an email.
In a February filing, the food chain described how climate change may impact its business.
“Increasing weather volatility or other long-term changes in global weather patterns, including any changes associated with global climate change, could have a significant impact on the price or availability of some of our ingredients,” the report reads. “In the event of cost increases with respect to one or more of our raw ingredients we may choose to temporarily suspend serving menu items, such as guacamole or one or more of our salsas, rather than paying the increased cost for the ingredients.”
