Sweetgreen CEO Neman Talks Cyclospora Outbreak

Sweetgreen CEO Jonathan Neman says that the Cyclospora outbreak has hurt sales even though the company does not use iceberg lettuce. He also says the company removed jalapenos - for which there was a separate recall over salmonella concerns - from 23 restaurants, and that that the outbreak began impacting Sweetgreen on July 10 and has had a "huge impact" on the quarter, but the firm expects improvements by the end of September.
