Thanks to Angela for reminding me of the wonderful news: Chipotle is finally (mostly) Soy Free! We were in a Chipotle a couple of weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised to find out Chipotle now uses canola oil in their tortillas. That makes everything we care about 100% soy free at Chipotle. They do ?now? ?still? offer a tofu concoction as an alternative to meat, but if it’s been there for a while, I’ve just ignored it.
So the tofu concoction is the only thing with soy in it in the entire restaurant. Our son was so ecstatic to finally be able to eat a Chipotle burrito again. It was one of his favorite restaurants before we found out about his soy allergy, and now he gets to go back!
Its a daunting task to avoid soy. Thanks for sharing your research. It has a major affect on men’s health, low testosterone. By the way, the canola oil is gmo (geneticly modified), which is another whole can of worms!
Yeah, it’s pretty scary how messed up Soy is to begin with, regardless of the allergy potentials.
Don’t even get us started on Canola Oil. If you have to use a solvent to extract oil from food (and then deodorize to remove the solvent smell), maybe you shouldn’t be extracting that oil.

No, the problem with Soy is that it affect Hormones – other oils are harmful as well but not because they affect the hormones. Soy is the worst possible, not only is it harmful to health being a refined oil, but also it affects your hormones.
Part of the Same Problem with Soy exist with all vegetable oil. Safe Oil: Coconut, Real Butter, Pure Olive Oil. Palm Oil may be ok also. (Not Palm Kernel)
They are one of our new favorite restaurants. Haven’t found anywhere else that is so soy-free
i was thrilled when i found out about these guys being soy friendly but i also fear the food handling and mass sickness from not proper cleaning methods.
