                                In 2011, Taco Bell faced a class-action lawsuit alleging its seasoned beef was only 35% meat, sparking widespread public interest and a fierce defense from the company. The fast-food chain publicly disclosed its full ingredient list to dispel the rumors, confirming its recipe contains 88% USDA-inspected beef. The remaining 12% is a combination of water, spices, and a range of food-grade ingredients that aid in flavor, texture, and moisture.
