   *last time we made Taco Bell meat we used soy (tofu) recently they have stopped using soy (Food Allergies) and replaced it with Oats. They still maintain the 88% meat that is 100% real ground beef and the other 12% being seasonings and fillers (Oats, starches and sugars like trehalose)

   *Trehalose (from Turkish 'trehala' – a sugar derived from insect cocoons) is a sugar consisting of two molecules of glucose. It is also known as mycose or tremalose. Some bacteria, fungi, plants and invertebrate animals synthesize it as a source of energy, and to survive freezing and lack of water.

    *Torula is also known as candida utilis. This type of yeast is a byproduct of the paper industry. During the process of turning wood into paper, torula yeast grows on waste sulfite liquid from the wood pulp. From there, it can be taken and dried into a powder. Most commonly used in flavoring dog food for that beefy flavor.
