Current report
In July 2026, U.S. authorities identified a multistate outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a gastrointestinal illness. No ingredients in our supply chain have been identified as part of the cyclosporiasis outbreak investigation, but the ongoing incident has contributed to reduced consumer demand for fresh prepared foods, including salads, which has negatively impacted our customer traffic and sales to date in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.
Current report
Separately, in August 2026, we were notified of a supplier-initiated recall involving jalapeños. We proactively removed and discarded all jalapeños from that supplier and related products from affected areas. We are currently unable to predict the effect this situation may have on consumer demand. We continue to maintain rigorous food safety protocols across our supply chain and restaurant operations, including supplier qualification requirements, cold chain management, team member training, and third-party food safety audits, and will continue to monitor the situation.
