Do you eat at Taco Bell? You might want to read this.... After several conversations with Taco Bells Head of Communications, I was able to finally confirm Taco Bell uses caramel coloring IV - which means it is the worst kind. This type of caramel isn’t the stuff you make at home by cooking sugar. This caramel color is manufactured by heating ammonia and sulfites under high pressure, which creates carcinogenic compounds. Both Consumers Union and Center of Science in Public Interest have studied this chemical and recommended all companies drop this ingredient from their products. Also, in California, it is listed as a known carcinogen. Taco Bells statement online about this ingredient is VERY MISLEADING to the public. They say The caramel color “is caramelized sugar, which is a commonly used food coloring (also found in cereals and pancake syrup). What they forget to tell you is that they create it from ammonia and sulfites in a laboratory and compounds in it are linked to cancer!
