Sounds like the Taco Sloppo "Where's the Beef?" lawsuit. 

Taco Bell only uses 35 percent real beef, lawsuit claims

Maybe there's something to the urban myth.

While there's no such thing as Grade D meat u in your chalupa or your 
McKinley Grill burger u there could be plenty of fillers in the meat 
being used, according to a law suit filed against the Taco Bell 
Corporation last week.

The class action suit claims that products advertised as "seasoned 
ground beef" or "seasoned beef" don't meet the minimum requirements for 
products marked as such. Dee Miles and other attorneys had Taco Bell's 
"meat mixture" tested and found it contained less than 35 percent beef, 
according to CBS News.

But at least it's labeled correctly.

"Taco Bell refers to its aseasoned ground beef' and aseasoned beef' as 
ataco meat filling,' even labeling the containers shipped to its 
restaurants correctly, while not telling its customers," plaintiff 
Amanda Obney said in the complaint.

The company's definition of "seasoned beef" isn't the same as a 
consumer's reasonable expectation or ordinary meaning of seasoned beef, 
she said in the document.
