Taco Bell Trials Vegan- and Vegetarian-Friendly Menu



Taco Bell Trials Vegan- and Vegetarian-Friendly Menu



IRVINE, CA - Hi! It’s me, the resident vegetarian on ANUK’s staff here to celebrate another produce takeover of meaty menus. Increasingly, fast food chains are getting in on the action of offering plant-based and veg-centric meat alternatives, and while I had thought Taco Bell would be one to stick to the meat-heavy status quo, the chain is belting out on its own as the latest to mess with the protein flow. Could this mean a meatless Crunchwrap Supreme® is in the cards? Taco Bell’s head seems to be in the game, but is its heart in the song? We’ll have to wait and see!

Taco Bell will debut new items on its dedicated vegetarian menu

The fast food chain announced it will begin testing its first vegetarian menu at store locations later this year, which will include the debut of new items. According to a press release, Taco Bell currently has more than 8 million vegetarian combinations to choose from, including vine-ripened tomatoes, Hass avocados, and more, with the new menu items possibly upping that count to higher heights.

Julie Masino, President of North America, Taco Bell“We decided to scratch the idea of New Year’s resolutions and instead make New Year’s commitments,” said Julie Masino, President of North America at Taco Bell. “From simplifying our ingredients while improving food quality to creating more new jobs, to improving our recycling efforts, these are just some of our promises to keep doing even better and being even better, and they are promises that we know we will keep.”

In addition to vegetarian menu items, Taco Bell is also working to remove all artificial colors and flavors from its core menu and preservatives and other additives from its food where it can, taking its dedication to high quality ingredients a step further.

What team? Taco Bell! Get your head in the vegetarian game!
