Why did Taco Bell change their meat recipe?

Answer 1

This has been a question which Taco Bell has not answered directly to any questions posed to their customer relations department.

What i do know personally is that the new recipe was very noticeable during one of my last trips to the restaurant and has turned me away from returning for more.

My whole family noticed the change and the biggest comment (complaint) was the very pasty texture and total lack of meat flavor over the previous recipe.

In my opinion, the new product looks, tastes and smells like something which would resemble a meat product but is now heavily cut with fillers..................

We are no longer customers after being a patron to the food chain for many years.

You are 100% correct my friend. I have participated in eating Taco Bell ever since 1984. This is when Founder Glen Bell still owned the chain. Up until the late 80's or so, the food was still orgasmic but the first change was the switch to toxic vegetable oil for frying instead of healthy natural coconut oil. I believe this is also when PepsiCo bought him out. Anyway this was done because of a Washington based lobby group who push agendas to finance their backers. In this case the Canadian government who paid off (bribed) our FDA to keep quiet and granting GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status to this toxic oil. So they can push toxic canola oil made from the rapeseed plants that have been GMO tainted. Rapeseed oil is toxic to begin with, besides all the solvents used to deodorize and remove the erucic acid. Canola does not exist as a plant. This and all vegetable oils are toxic. Only natural fats from nature are healthy. Lard, butter, olive oil, flakseed, and coconut oil. This change in frying oils were noticed in the nachos immediately. You could taste that just off almost rancid flavor now.

These are the first changes we saw, then as time went on the black olives were discontinued from the list of ingredients for the items that were designed to have them. This lessened the great flavor. Next we see a plethora of changes and it may be about the time Taco Bell was sold to Koreans known as YUM brands. Next you had the false reports by Taco Bell with the green onion scare in 2006. Taco Bell attached the E coli story to the green onions as an excuse to remove those too from the menu items. When in fact it was the tomatoes all along. Soon after the beef known as ground beef which is seasoned had turned from its once grand dark brown little ground bitty pieces of delight INTO a now pasty orangey glop loaded with soy fillers. Soy is very dangerous to males. It destroys their masculine endocrine system in development.

Then after all that damage, YUM decides to implement the K-minus kitchen in Taco Bell. This means there are no longer fresh food prepping on-site like it used to be when all meats were sliced, ground, cooked every day in each restaurant location. The refried beans too were cooked on-site. The cheeses were 100% real and freshly shredded each day. The vegetables were freshly cut each day. Now all meats, cheese, and produce are shipped in prepackaged and stale loaded with preservatives. Even the tortillas are now shelf stable filled with preservatives. It is no longer the slogan "The Fresh Food Place" like when Glen Bell owned it.

I have not bought Taco Bell for almost two decades. At the first sign of change, I stopped. I do test them once in a while to see if they redeemed at all. Nope! Just putrid slop of disease causing pig trough fill. If Glen was alive? He would have a fit. I now make my own original Bell at home. I even contribute to many websites such as "Pre 90's Taco Bell" on CHOWHOUND and a new one coming soon on Tumblr titled " Old School Eatery" - Old School Taco Bell recipes coming soon.

So if you think I'm kidding about the massive changes for the worse taken by Pepsico and now YUM (dumb) brands to save a penny and harm the public... Watch the old Taco Bell commercials from the mid 80's and prior to see. Talk to some people who remember how tasty the food once was and healthy besides. Natural fats are not the problem in Heart disease. Man made oils are dangerous. read the latest in heart disease - build up of plaque is not due to high cholesterol - its chronic inflammation and synthetic oils are partially to blame. (Heart surgeon came clean on this).
