The whole thing took less than 15 minutes. Inspired by this simple, easy-to-follow recipe from Bless This Food, In The Know producer Nicholas Rudzewick set out to make his own Crunchwrap Supreme at home. It’s also surprisingly easy to make at home. Love it or hate it, the part-quesadilla, part-crunchy-taco, part-who-knows-what-else is an iconic fast food item. ![]() ![]() That's the priority, naturally.There’s nothing quite like a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme. "We want to make sure the replacements aren't sacrificing anything for our customers, because we know they come to us for the experience and bold flavors," said Matthews. ![]() Niccol and Matthews said Taco Bell has stealthily been making healthy improvements to its menu for 10 years, for example by reducing sodium, but hasn't been marketing it.įor now, Taco Bell doesn't have any plans to remove antibiotics from meat, as chains like McDonald's and Chick-fil-A have recently committed to do, or to go GMO free like Chipotle. "We're just here to listen to our customers and they want less in their food and they want simpler ingredients and that's what we're doing." "There are things that are good and things that are bad, and that's not for us to debate," she said. Liz Matthews, Taco Bell's Chief Food Innovation Officer, steered clear of arguing about the health impact of the new ingredient standards. John Coupland, professor of food science at Penn State, said "I don't think it's likely having an impact on the nutritional quality of the food you're eating." He said while there's an increasing amount of chemophobia today, artificial ingredients aren't categorically worse, or better, for health than natural ingredients. Not all of the banned ingredients are bad for health, even if they sound like they are. In May, Panera Bread released a list of "unacceptable" ingredients, what it calls a "No No List," that will be removed from menus by the end of 2016. Subway has removed medium chain triglycerides from its chicken and azodicarbonamide from its breads. The two companies join other fast food giants that have recently tried to jump about the natural food bandwagon by cleaning up their ingredients. The company said it has already removed all artificial trans fats and MSG from its food. Pizza Hut, which like Taco Bell is owned by Yum Brands, also announced today that it plans to remove artificial flavors and colors from its pizzas by the end of July. Most importantly, the changes won't affect beverages and co-branded items, so while artificial colors may be out of most foods, Doritos Locos Tacos and Cap'N Crunch donut holes will be keeping Taco Bell's menus bright. While some of the replacement ingredients will cost more, the chain is not increasing menu prices.īut there are some very significant exceptions. Taco Bell "is committed to being a brand that people can truly champion and trust," CEO Brian Niccol told BuzzFeed News. "In all cases, they will be replaced with natural alternatives," the company said in a release. Taco Bell today announced a new set of standards for ingredients that will remove artificial colors, flavors, added trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, or "unsustainable" palm oil in its food by the end of 2015. Because you never ate a Quesarito for your health. So as other fast food chains made questionable commitments to making their menus healthier and removing unpronounceable ingredients from their food, you might have thought that Taco Bell would hold out, embrace its fast food roots, and admit that it doesn't give a crap about your diet. If there was a word to describe such flavor blasted franken-foods, "natural" wouldn't be one of them. Then it used Cap'N Crunch Berries cereal to create a rainbow-colored donut hole. It wrapped a burrito inside a quesadilla and dubbed it the Quesarito. It folded a syrupy breakfast taco into a waffle shell, and later a biscuit. It added Doritos flavor to its taco shells. ![]()
