"We strive to ensure nutritional information we provide to our guests is accurate based on standard recipes across our restaurants nationwide. We use independent labs to test the nutritional content of all of our menu items.   However, on occasion, in-restaurant preparation, portion size variances and guest customization of menu items can impact nutritional content.  To the extent that any of the items ordered were not prepared to our exacting standards, we apologize to our valued guests.  As such, we will be working to reinforce these menu standards and retrain heart-of-house team members on item preparation."
