Chipoltes across the nation, including the VCU Chipotle, have posted a sign on their doors stating that they won’t be serving carnitas (aka pork for the taco illitterate). The reason for this lack of porky goodness, “We’re not able to source enough responsibly raised carnitas currently, but we’re working to fix that as soon as we can. – Chipotle Tweets)

Business Insider has more details and states that the core reason for the shortage is that Chipotle has suspended one of its suppliers after discovering the supplier had violated Chipotle’s standards of treatment. According to the article the violations are centered around the housing of the pigs and was uncovered during a routine inspection.

There is no timeline for the return of carnitas.
