AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas ag commissioner has a beef with Chipotle.
Agricultural Commissioner Todd Staples says he's "shocked" that Chipotle Mexican Grill imports grass-fed beef from Australia.
Staples writes it's "misguided" and "irresponsible" that Chipotle founder Steve Ells believes Australian meat is raised more responsibly than cattle in Texas.
Staples says he wants Ells to meet with him and Texas beef industry leaders.
