"The lawsuit is bogus and filled with completely inaccurate facts. Our beef is 100% USDA inspected, just like the quality beef you would buy in a supermarket and prepare in your home. It then is slow-cooked and simmered with proprietary seasonings and spices to provide Taco Bell's signature taste and texture. Our seasoned beef recipe contains 88% quality USDA-inspected beef and 12% seasonings, spices, water and other ingredients that provide taste, texture and moisture. The lawyers got their facts wrong. We take this attack on our quality very seriously and plan to take legal action against them for making false statements about our products. There is no basis in fact or reality for this suit and we will vigorously defend the quality of our products from frivolous and misleading claims such as this." ... says Greg Creed.


Would Taco Bell actually use up to 88% REAL beef? The chain serves more than 2 billion customers each year, and moreover a pound of beef ranges from 2.49 - 3 dollars. With the demand for beef (and there fore its price) goes up annually, if Taco Bell used real meat in every single burrito, taco, and other condiments that they made, they would not have $1.92 billion in Revenue. Seeing how McDonalds use up to 560 million pounds of beef anually along with 58 million customers DAILY (which adds up to 21170000000 million, or about 2 trillion customers per year, and it is still rising), Taco Bell's profit yearly is quite meager compared to McDonald's. Using about 40% real beef would help Taco Bell financially, and with great advantages. The common person would not detect Fungus, soy, or even wheat gluten pressed in and combined with the meat to form a "100% Real Beef" substance. In general, I believe Taco Bell is using fake meat to save money, as the food chain is still marginally smaller than most major food companies (McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King). KFC and Taco Bell are fast-food chains which are still growing (with KFC being the smallest). In fact, many people still speculate KFC uses fake chicken, or using chicken meat that has received the lowest quality care, treatment, feed, and overall life quality.

Do you think Taco Bell meat is real or fake?
