Patrons of Taco Bell unite!
Taco Bell defends its mixture of seasoned meat
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Taco Bell officials on Tuesday rejected claims made in a lawsuit that the meat in their tacos, burritos and other products is not all beef. Taco Bell President Greg Creed said in a statement that the lawyers who filed the lawsuit got their facts wrong and that Taco Bell plans to take legal action against those making the allegations. He did not explain specifically what type of legal action Taco Bell might take.
"At Taco Bell, we buy our beef from the same trusted brands you find in the supermarket," Creed said. "We start with 100 percent USDA-inspected beef. Then we simmer it in our proprietary blend of seasonings and spices to give our seasoned beef its signature Taco Bell taste and texture."
The class action lawsuit filed Friday in federal court in California by the Montgomery law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles claims the Taco Bell meat mixture contains binders and fillers.
An attorney for the law firm, Dee Miles, said Taco Bell saves money by adding fillers because the beef is the most expensive part of their products.
"It's giving them a competitive edge. It's an economic edge" over other companies that sell Mexican-style food, Miles said.
Miles said he wasn't concerned with Taco Bell's threat of legal action.
"We stand on the absolute facts as stated in the complaint filed in the Federal Court in California," he said.
Creed said Taco Bell is proud of the quality of its beef and identifies the seasoning and spice ingredients on its website.
According to that Web site, ingredients used to season the Taco Bell meat include salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, oats, soy lectithin, sugar, soybean oil, garlic powder, yeast extract, citric acid and cocoa powder.
The lawsuit filed on behalf of Taco Bell customer and California resident Amanda Obney does not seek monetary damages, but asks the court to order Taco Bell to be honest in its advertising.

For me, I pretty much accepted that I was not eating meat when I went to Taco Bell, I go there to get full from delicious food for two dollars.

Re: Patrons of Taco Bell unite!
Well there are some people who just like to complain about something and do what they can to get attention. they may be serious but the chances of that are very low. i dont think that anyone would just figure out randomly that taco bell does that and just sew them. they did it so they could get money, publicity, and what not

Yes, and that really pisses me off about people sometime. It is like that one lady who burnt herself with McDonalds coffee and sued them.

Re: Patrons of Taco Bell unite!
YEAH!! that is her fault for being an idiot. i remember one time i was at applebees, and no offense but this white trash family was there and this lady ate like half her food and complained about it so she could get another but "made right" and im sure that lady would eat anything no matter what from the looks of it
