"The firm tested the "meat mixture" and found that it contained ingredients like water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, modified corn starch and an anti-dusting agent." (I still don't understand why there is dust on the beef...?)
According to Taco Bell it is 88% beef, 12% fillers:
"Taco Bell went even further. In this age of full disclosure, Taco Bell revealed its secret ingredients: water, salt, chili peppers, onion powder, tomato powder, sugar, garlic, COCOA POWDER (didn't see that one coming), oats, caramelized sugar, yeast and citric acid. "

here's the beef filling recipe copied and pasted right from their own website.
88% USDA-inspected quality beef
3-5% water for moisture
3-5% spices (including salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, sugar, garlic powder, cocoa powder and a proprietary blend of Mexican spices and natural flavors).
3-5% oats, starch, sugar, yeast, citric acid, and other ingredients that contribute to the quality of our product.
Well, I have recently heard that Taco Bell meat is made out of only 35% meat. I don't know about the other 65%. That's why my family isn't going there anymore until they get that problem fixed. Anyway, hope I helped!
The news.
Taco Bell meat is made our of less than 45% beef. The rest is flour and bread additives.
We've found an exact recipe for the meat taste without all the superficial additives.
