Trump's Mexican tariffs likely to raise cost of your taco fix, Chipotle says

Chipotle Mexican Grill said it expects its 2019 costs could rise by about $15 million if President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Mexican imports are enacted, and possibly lead the fast-food chain to raise prices.

Chipotle was already expecting food costs in the second quarter to be 1 percent higher than the first quarter due to rising avocado prices, but tariffs would mean prices could be even higher.beginning June 10 if the country doesn’t help prevent the flow of illegal immigrants, mostly from Central America, over the U.S. southern border. Under Trump’s plan, the tariffs would gradually increase and could rise as high as 25 percent by October.

“We know that we could easily solve the volatility in our supply chain by purchasing premashed or processed avocados, which would be cheaper, readily available and provide stability, but we are committed to our brand purpose and upholding our food with integrity principles,” Hartung said. “We believe that using whole, fresh ingredients and making guacamole by hand in our restaurants each day leads to better tasting guacamole that our customers deserve and expect from Chipotle.

He will never raise tariffs

Just once I wish NBC would print news. The operative word in this article is could, why print possibilities that’s not news!

SMH

And raise the cost of everything else including a new car by $2,000.

Remember the school cafeteria dirty dish window ? All that left over food being thrown into a slop bucket. Thats what a 'Chipotle ' burrito reminds me of. Ive been to a Chipotle only once , and never again.

Good thing I don’t eat at this establish. Won’t cost me a damn thing. They can keep their salmonella.

Won’t affect me... I don’t eat there. I’ve never tried it, chipotle I eat local Mexican restaurants not restaurant chains. No worried👍

Tariffs 🇺🇸 No problem paying more, makes sense and worth every extra penny

Oh no! Raised prices at Chipotle vs taxpayers footing a $150 billion annual bill for illegal immigration. Paying 50 cents to a dollar more for your Chipotle meal is just unbearable to even think about.

Guac’s about to be a LOT extra

Stop whining Americans. Aren’t you tired of other countries taking advantage of us?

oh my, too bad

🙏☺️

Still afraid to eat at chipotle might get sick

Time for Mexico to get their act together.

Boo hoo.

Another reason besides food poisoning to avoid Chipotle.

Oh wow a whopping $.05. Avocados have been $2.50 a piece by me for the last month. Weren't you all saying the same about tariffs on Chinese goods? Last I looked inflation is down.

Oh well, congress can't get off its ars and fix the invasion of illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central American. POTUS has used every tool he has to move the House to move.

'the tariffs could possibly lead to raised prices.' Unlike, say, a $15 national minimum wage and increased payroll taxes to pay for universal health care. Amirite?

Well they certainly won't be eating he costs, no pun intended

How misleading! That equates to less than 5 cents per burrito. I’d gladly pay that or more to make my country safer and stronger.

Then call your supplier in Mexico and tell them to call their government and have them stop the flood of people, help out quit complaining, our country is getting screwed by most countries where do you live? Complain to Mexico to get off their Ass!!

Who cares

Poor ignorant millennials.

Dang I have to pay 5 cents more to get diarrhea. That sucks

If it impacted McDonalds he would stop the tariffs

Less Chipotle equals less food poisoning!

I thought they locally sourced their produce when it was available? What ingredients that they use are not produced/grown in America? ChipotleTweets

More winning for our great nation!

The more important question is what does this mean for Taco Bell 😏

Nobody makes authentic Mexican foods like madres, tias, abuelitas, and sometimes padres, and tios! No sour cream is needed at all! Crema is life! Pollo is life! Carne asada is life!

I don’t eat at that nasty place anyway!

You don't saaaaaay....!

Buy American beef and grown.

That’s it. That’s it! THAT IS IT. You have my attention now, media. Higher prices for steel and all that other stuff was bad, but a possible price increase from Chipotle? No no huh uh, NO. Just keep paying billions for illegal aliens spilling into the country. Whatever it takes

They are saying a nickle ($.05) a burrito. Sounds more palatable than $15M. A nickle a burrito sounds worth it.

In other words..its gonna get expensive to get diarrhea.

I put country before chipotle so I don’t care about their disgusting food

Good

Higher prices for Salmonella.

Bull crap!

COULD possibly? As if Chiptole will eat the additional costs. Pretend all you want but tariffs cost the American consumer. Companies won't eat add'l costs to do business; they'll pass it on to their customers to maintain profit levels.

Wow I’m Scared, I mean do I have to eat there ? Lol

. This is a Restaurant Chain in the USA why is it not buying local fresh produce when available? There are alot of Chickens and beef grown local. Why are these Chain Restaurants not buying back in the community that supports it? Then you will not have to be concerned with tarrufs

Do we half to coddle ethnic restaurants now?

They’ll just charge more for the guacamole they already charge for anyway. Also, living in San Diego, avocado 🥑 is everywhere, not as hipster food, but as a real ingredient in regular food. For you folks who mock the issues these changes bring, look a little deeper.

FUCK!

Nothing has been done yet...the sky is not falling......just think of the money the US will be saving not having to look after all the illegals.

People shouldn’t be eating this junk anyways.
