Taco Bell\u2019s famous beef recipe revealed and takes customers by surprise Taco BellTaco Bell customers were left feeling surprised after the takeout revealed how much beef was actually in its recipe. Taco Bell claims that their seasoned beef is made using 100% USDA premium beef, however, it actually isn\u2019t 100%. According to the website, after simmering, the beef is drained of excess fat and pre-seasoned with a signature blend of seven authentic seasonings and spices. It is then packaged with added water to lock in the flavor and for added moisture, and then shipped to restaurants. So it turns out that the non-beef elements of Taco Bell beef are mostly seasonings and binders, making it relatively standard. We\u2019re unsure why this is the case, but Taco Bell still maintains one of the lowest prices of any fast food chain. In 2014, Taco Bell reassured consumers that all of their additives were FDA-approved. It even went through them to describe the purpose of each one. One example is maltodextrin, which is just a form of sugar. \u201cI would hope it wasn\u2019t 100% beef because I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d be okay with the kind of process that would make cow meat taste seasoned like that,\u201d one commenter revealed. \u201cYou\u2019re right, I\u2019m absolutely shocked, 88% is more beef than I thought would be in it,\u201d another wrote in. This isn\u2019t the first surprise, however. In June it turned out that McDonald\u2019s burgers weren\u2019t doing as well as some other items. \u201cSome of this protein consumption change is something that we really will have to watch. We\u2019ve seen that shift. We didn\u2019t have a chicken sandwich when we launched our brand in 1955. We sell more chicken today as a brand than we sell beef,\u201d the fast food giants said. \u201cPeople change what they eat very slowly over time. So yes, we are seeing those slow changes over time. I think some of it\u2019s driven by affordability\u2026 we know that chicken is less expensive to produce, and so for a consumer that\u2019s looking for more affordable food, chicken is a great option right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
