You're about to be burrito-blocked. Chipotle announced Thursday it will close all of its stores for a few hours on February 8 for a company-wide meeting about food safety.

Following successive food poisoning outbreaks last year, spokesman Chris Arnold, told The Chicago Tribune the meeting next month will cover a range of issues.

The company has been working to win back customers after health officials investigated six outbreaks last year involving E. coli, salmonella and norovirus that were linked to Chipotle. Sales quickly dropped 30 percent in December....

Federal officials haven't confirmed if the E.coli outbreak is over. In the meantime, Arnold says the company has hired a food safety expert, now tests produce before distributing it to restaurants and will begin a campaign in February to help regain trust.
