Taco Bell beef controversy sparks nationwide ad campaign
A dubious $ suit accuses Taco Bell of mislabeling its taco filling as beef while the chain counters with full page ads in major papers and a YouTube push led by its president. Taco Bell asserts the mix is 88 percent beef plus water and additives, disputing the 35 percent figure from the filing firm Beasley Allen Miles. The federal case in California claims the product fails federal beef standards, prompting strong media backlash and expert commentary on its impact and handling.
