Chipotle has stopped offering carnitas at a third of its 1,700 stores after one of its suppliers failed to meet standards for "responsibly raised" animals.

Chipotle said in a statement that it requires its pork "comes from pigs that are raised with outdoor access or in deeply bedded pens, and without the use of antibiotics."
