Taco Bell "beef" lawsuit resolved

Posted: Updated:

The lawsuit filed against fast-food restaurant Taco Bell regarding the composition of its "seasoned beef" products has been resolved.  Attorneys for Amanda Obney announced Tuesday that a class-action lawsuit filed on her behalf against Taco Bell will be dismissed.

The lawsuit, filed in January 2011, had sought an injunction requiring more disclosure by Taco Bell of ingredients in its "seasoned beef." The lawsuit did not seek money, so the resolution of the case does not involve money.

"From the inception of this case, we stated that if Taco Bell would make certain changes regarding disclosure and marketing of its ‘seasoned beef' product, the case could be dismissed," said Dee Miles of Montgomery based law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C., one of the attorneys for Amanda Obney.

"We engaged in discussions with the company representatives over the last couple of months about the lawsuit and the company's responsive action to the suit," he said. "We accepted Taco Bell's invitation to confer with company representatives and share information and ideas about the issues in the case. As a result of the lawsuit, changes in marketing and product disclosure were made by the company, allowing us to dismiss the case."
