Taco Bell Sued For Calling It’s Mystery Meat “Seasoned Beef”

Taco Bell Sued For Calling It’s Mystery Meat “Seasoned Beef”: "


Ever wonder why Taco Bell is one of America’s most low cost fast food?  The reason is coming to light in an Alabama courtroom.  A lawyer has filed suit against the fast food chain that demands that Taco Bell tell people what is in their meat.  The suit also alleges that Taco Bell is misleading the public by calling it’s filler based meat product “seasoned beef”.


According to the lawsuit, Taco Bell’s meat is filled with binders and the results of the meat testing showed that the meat mixture is less than 36% beef, which is less than the USDA requires for a product to be considered beef.  Further contained in the suit, other products found in the meat mixture are water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent and modified corn starch.


The lawsuit is not seeking any monetary damages, the goal of the lawsuit is for Taco Bell to stop advertising it’s products as having “seasoned beef” and to stop deceiving the public that their product is healthier than it really is.

LOLz, not angus but I do think the consumer should know what they are eating versus what is advertised they are being fed.
