<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Below is a long-awaited response I received from Taco Bell. I was not aware that they use oats in the beef mixture, therefore nothing on their menu containing ground beef if safe for us. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Taco Bell Corp. 17901 Von Karman Irvine, California 92614-6221 Telephone. 714 863 4500 February 22, 1998 Dear PAT: This correspondence is in response to your request for information about ingredients in Taco Bell menu items. You inquired as to which items are suitable for gluten-restricted diets. Because wheat is a part of so many of our recipes, many items served in Taco Bell restaurants are not suitable for gluten-restricted diets. However, there are a few items you can safely order: Pintos and Cheese Bean Tostada Nachos Nachos Supreme (minus the Beef) Nachos Bellgrande (minus the Beef) Side Items/Toppings Include: Cheese Sauce Guacamole Hot or Mild Sauce Jalapeno Peppers Nacho Chips Pico de Gallo Produce Items (Lettuce, Diced Onions, Green Onions) Sour Cream Seasoned Rice Picante Sauce If you have any further questions, or we can be of additional assistance please contact u~ at the address or phone number listed below.
