A law firm in Alabama has filed a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell, claiming that the food chain is engaging in false advertising by saying that its tacos are filled with beef. They say it’s actually “taco meat filling” containing only 36% beef, and the rest is “extenders” such as water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, corn starch and “Isolate Oat Product”. They say the USDA defines beef as “flesh of cattle,” and want Taco Bell to start using the term “taco meat filling”.
- This could shake up the whole meat industry… I can just hear it now, “Flesh of Cattle… It’s What’s For Dinner!”
- Do they really think drunk frat boys who go to the Taco Bell drive-thru at 2a.m. care what they call it?
- “Isolate Oat Product” has always been one of my favorites.
- Why not just stick with the bean burrito… it’s the cheapest gas in town!
