“Our seasoned beef recipe contains 88 per cent quality USDA-inspected beef and 12 per cent seasonings, spices, water and other ingredients that provide taste, texture and moisture,” writes Greg Creed, the brand’s president and chief concept officer in a statement on Taco Bell’s site.
California’s Amanda Obney recently filed the suit in federal court, and although she’s not asking for money, she wants the company to practice honest advertising. According to Florida’s Sun-Sentinel.com, she asserts much of the beef in the chain’s meat is filler.
According to Creed, the allegations are false. “The lawyers got their facts wrong,” he adds in the statement. “We take this attack on our quality very seriously and plan to take legal action against them for making false statements about our products.”
