Several Taco Bell® items do not include meat as an ingredient. Popular ones include the classic Bean Burrito, 1/2 lb. Cheesy Bean & Rice Burrito, 7-Layer Burrito, and Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes side item (the last two feature sour cream, which contains a very small amount of gelatin which is naturally animal-based). Of course you can also request that any item on the menu be prepared without meat or sour cream. The enzymes used in the production of our cheese, tortillas, and flatbread are not from an animal source.

Experts agree that properly cooked chicken is perfectly safe to eat and free of the avian flu. Taco Bell® has a number of safeguards in place from the farm to the restaurant to assure that our chicken is perfectly safe to eat and free of the avian flu.
•All of the chicken is grown "under cover" so there's no chance of cross-contamination from a migratory bird possibly containing the virus.
•All of our suppliers have strict programs in place to prevent contamination with avian flu.
•We require all suppliers to test all flocks and certify in writing that the flocks are free of H5N1 (avian flu).
•During processing, all chicken is inspected by the USDA, and processed under strict temperature controls to eliminate disease-causing bacteria or viruses during all handling and transportation.
•Our final safeguard is the most important – our chicken is cooked above 165 degrees, which experts agree ensures that it is free from bird flu virus.
•Taco Bell® routinely trains our employees on proper hand washing, food handling and preparation so our customers can have confidence that our chicken is perfectly safe to eat, and free of the bird flu.
