Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) are down in pre-market trading after actor Jeremy Jordan, one of the stars of the television show “Supergirl,” blamed the burrito chain for an illness that hospitalized him. On Thursday night, Jordan posted his first ever Instagram story, which included pictures of himself in a hospital bed and the statement :”I, as you can see, am in the hospital and I have fluids in my arm because the food did not agree with me and I almost died.” Chipotle responded to Jordan’s claims with the following statement to People: “We are sorry to hear that Jeremy is sick and have attempted to get in touch with him directly regarding where and when he ate so we can look into this. We take all claims seriously, but at this time we can’t confirm any link to Chipotle. We are always committed to making things right for our guests and will do the same for Jeremy when we are able to reach him.” In pre-market trading, Chipotle is down $11.45, or 4%, to $268 per share.
