Three California customers are suing restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill, alleging the restaurant misrepresented the calorie count in its new burrito.

According to news reports, the potential plaintiffs will seek class-action status on the grounds that Chipotle advertised the new chorizo burrito as having 300 calories when, in fact, it adds up to about 1,050 calories. One of the customers said he "felt excessively full" after consuming the burrito and was misled by the calorie count. Chipotle took to social media to apologize for the confusing sign, saying "...we'll make things more clear next time. The 300 calories is for the chorizo."

The plaintiffs argue that customers are entitled to accurate information regarding the nutritional value of food and that this situation represents Chipotle's larger trend of misleading information, thus warranting that the lawsuit cover everyone who ate at Chipotle over the last four years and not just since the chorizo burrito was introduced in October.
