BOSTON (AP) — Boston College says several of its students, including members of the men's basketball team, complained of gastrointestinal symptoms after eating at a Chipotle restaurant in Boston.
The college, in a statement, said it had notified the state Department of Public Health, which is trying to determine if it is part of an ongoing national outbreak of e-coli that has been linked to the Chipotle chain.
A spokesman for the state agency said it appeared that more than 20 students were sickened, but it had not yet determined the cause of the illnesses.
A manager at the Chipotle's in the Cleveland Circle neighborhood referred questions to a spokesman for the chain's national headquarters, who did not immediately return a message.
Chipotle has said it planned to tighten its food standards.
