Taco Bell Sued Over “Taco Meat Filling”
According to the LA Times, Taco Bell is being sued over the beef in its tacos. The class-action suit, filed on behalf of Amanda Obney, claims that the chain restaurant’s “Taco Meat Filling” is only 36% beef… waaaay short of the standard definition of “beef.” The class-action suit, which does not ask for money, objects to Taco Bell calling its products “seasoned ground beef or seasoned beef,...
