Taco Bell says 88 per cent of its beef is actually beef, and the other 12 per cent is ‘signature recipe’.

Customers who may have been wondering about the ingredients in the fast-food chain’s beef now have their answer.

The national chain of Mexican-inspired restaurants, owned by Yum! Brands, has launched a new page on its official website explaining the contents of the 12 per cent of Taco Bell’s beef that is not actually beef.

The company concedes that the ingredients in the 12 per cent ‘signature recipe’ have weird names – perfect for tongue twisters.’

Ingredients in signature recipe include caramel color, cocoa, maltodextrin, modified corn starch and torula yeast.

But the page goes on to say that all the items, many of which sound like they belong in a chemistry kit, ‘are completely safe and approved by the FDA.’

‘They’re common ingredients also found in food items at your grocery store,’ the company states.
