Food 🚫 Mostly False
Is Taco Bell’s beef really only 50% beef?
📞 What Mom Said
"I watched a video and saw that Taco Bell's beef is actually only 50% ground beef."
This rumor is based on a real old lawsuit, which is why it sounds believable. Taco Bell’s beef mixture does contain more than just beef, including water and seasonings, so there is a grain of truth there. But the claim that it is only 50% beef is not what the lawsuit proved, and not even what the controversy was most known for. Taco Bell said its seasoned beef was 88% beef, and the lawsuit was eventually dropped.
