Over the years, Taco Bell has faced persistent rumors about using low-quality beef, including claims of grade D meat, with a 2011 lawsuit alleging their beef was only 35% meat. However, it was debunked that the U.S. does not grade beef with letter grades like D, and Taco Bell actually uses '100 percent USDA premium beef.'
