AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas agriculture commissioner on Monday aired a beef with Chipotle Mexican Grill and wants to talk with its founder after the company decided to import grass-fed beef from Australia.

Commissioner Todd Staples in a letter dated Monday says it is “misguided” and “irresponsible” for Chipotle founder Steve Ells to believe that Australian meat is raised more responsibly than cattle in Texas, the nation’s leading producer, or other states.
