Hat tip to reader Wendy (Thanks!), who pointed out that Starbucks has nutrition information available on their site. Starbucks has a reputation for being very customer-centric; putting nutritional information on their site is a great way to keep that reputation.

I contacted Chipotle Restaurants on Feb. 19 about providing nutrition information for their menu. David Chrisman, a representative from Chipotle contacted me on March 06, 2007 about my request. Here is their reply, directly from their email response:

We had it on the Web site until just recently. We are currently dealing with a New York City regulation that governs how we disclose nutritional information. We are seeking additional guidance from the regulators as to the form that such disclosure must take and unfortunately we need more guidance from them before we can return the nutritional information to the website.

Sincerely,

David Chrisman

While I believe the Chipotle representative, their response raises a couple of questions. First, should all restaurants follow Chipotle’s lead and pull their information until New York determines what should be done? Secondly, if other restaurants are publishing their information, is there another reason for Chipotle’s lack of disclosure?
