TACO BELL ENZYMES

Posted on July 21, 2014 by The VRG Blog Editor

In answer to a reader’s question, VRG Research Director Jeanne Yacoubou learned:

“The enzymes in the flatbread and tortillas are microbial and plant-derived…The Doritos Locos Taco shell contains enzymes from animal origin (cow). None of the ingredients contain L-Cysteine.”

Jeanne is working on followup questions concerning other ingredients in Taco Bell’s bread products and in the cheese sauce as an online reader asked.
