When you think about Taco Bell, you probably don’t associate it with health. However, Taco Bell that serves a 980 calories Breakfast Crunch Wrap and a 760 calories Fiesta Taco Salad, has made some changes to their menu.
Last year, Taco Bell announced their commitment to improving the quality and nutrition of their food. They were proud to reduce the sodium by 15% since 2006. They are now selling chicken that has been raised without antibiotics and are eliminating 40-ounce soda cups from their restaurants.
Taco Bell has recently expanded the use of cage-free eggs to all egg-recipes and plans are in the works to remove any additives and preservatives, where possible. By 2025, they are planning on reducing another 10% of sodium.
Taco Bell is one of the only fast food restaurants to seek for vegan-friendly and vegetarian menu options. Today it has 12 vegetarians items, all of which are under 480 calories and they also have a big variety of vegan options.
Of course, Taco Bell should not be your go-to spot when seeking healthy food, but this is in case fast food is the only option. Customers can now create well-balanced meals like two fresco soft tacos with shredded chicken for only 300 calories, instead of choosing the burger and fries for 470 calories.
