The Chipotle restaurant that had to close down was located in Cleveland Circle. Employees have been cleaning the location and health officials are investigating the matter. It’s unknown what food caused the illnesses or when the restaurant will reopen, reports CBS Boston.

Students of Boston College that ate at the Chipotle have reported symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. This could be a sign that E. coli was the culprit. However, the Mexican food chain said it hasn’t yet determined the cause of the illnesses, CBS Boston notes.

Chipotle closed 43 restaurants last month in Oregon and Washington after an E. coli scare. Those locations have now been reopened. Starbucks (SBUX) had trouble with a possible E. coli infection in its holiday turkey paninis in November and had to recall the item.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a major recall on products that were possibly affected by E. coli. It included products sold by 14 retailers in the U.S.

CMG shares were down 2% as of Tuesday morning.
