Chipotle Sued Over Horrifying Discovery in Burrito Bowl

The 24-year-old customer said she was in “shock” after she took a bite of her burrito bowl and discovered a rodent inside.

A 24-year-old Manhattan woman has sued Chipotle after she allegedly took a bite from a burrito bowl and discovered a rodent inside. Gia Bernhardt filed a complaint in New York County Supreme Court against the chain and DoorDash, claiming she suffered “pain, shock, and severe mental anguish” after ordering from a Chipotle on the Upper East Side, according to The Independent, which obtained the lawsuit. Bernhardt said she realized something was wrong only after taking a bite and discovering the rodent “within [her] mouth,” the complaint states. She is seeking damages and wants Chipotle, DoorDash, and the individual delivery driver held responsible for the disturbing incident. A rep for Chipotle told The Independent the chain “strongly” denies Bernhardt’s accusations and plans to “vigorously defend” itself against the lawsuit.
