A time machine.
Go back 5 years when everything still tasted good. Cuz idk what they did since pandemic hit, adding grasshoppers to the beef or something, but its not good anymore. Its weird-meh.
Bruh.
It's probably that your sense of taste has changed, not their ingredients.
You may have long covid.
I have a sensitive pallette, always had. I def dont have long COVID.
Nah, there is a lot more grit in the meat. The texture changed for the worse.
Remember that in like 2020 or so Taco Bell got sued by the FDA for putting too much sand in their meat.
Source?
So what is in Taco Bell's seasoned ground beef? Here's the full list of ingredients straight from the company's site:
Silicon dioxide is a major component of sand, and they do not make any bones about including that in their meat, but because of some weirdo suing them saying that it was only 35% beef versus 88% beef I cannot find the link where the FDA was prosecuting them for having too much silicon dioxide in their meat.
Unless you have evidence that they get their silicon dioxide from sand, it is premature to declare they put sand in their food.
Water is commonly found in glacier ice. Do you accuse people who serve water as serving glacier ice?
Silicon dioxide is a common anti-caking agent. It's used in many foods and is generally harmless when ingested. Inhaling it can be a problem, but that's more of a concern on the production end, not for the consumer.
No, I know that many chemicals have multiple uses, just like propylene glycol can be used as an antifreeze but also works as a sweetener in food.
I honestly cannot find the article that I read but I did read at one point that there was too much silicon dioxide in taco bells meat at one point and they had to reign it back.
