USDA allows a mixture as low as 40% beef to be labeled as beef. Holy fast food Batman!

Has anyone actually enjoyed eating Taco Bell?

I love Taco Bell! They improved their quality a few years ago. Their breakfast menu is also the bomb!

Over the past week, the fast food restaurant chain Taco Bell was sued for claiming that the taco mixture used in their products was actually beef. According to USDA standards, a beef mixture served by businesses must contain at least 40% beef in ordered to be labeled as such, and the lawsuit alleges (with some evidence) that their taco mixture only contains 36% beef, not the 88% beef that they claim.

Taco Bell themselves list ingredients in their “meat filling products” that include “water, isolated oat product, wheat oats, maltodrextrin, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent, autolyzed yeast extract, modified corn starch, sodium phosphate and silicon dioxide.”
Silicon dioxide?


hm.. does McD still say 100% beef?

I mean...I don't really think anyone is under the illusion that a chain that serves you $1 tacos in under 2 minutes in a drive-through is somehow, shockingly, not healthy & full of preservatives & crap lol.

Now that IS a tweet I like.

Never got ill from Taco Bell. Liked their Beefy-5 layer Burrito as it is the most food per dollar on their menu, although the price is insane now(before it was 1.29-1.99 and now it's 2.50 to 3+ dollars) and it's not good due to the ingredients like sodium phosphate. But indigestion or diarrhea is such fake news or spouted by people with truly bad gut bacteria. Lactose intolerance...or beans...
