I checked pretty thoroughly - the FDA documents on the Web
don't touch the subject.

I figure that the major corporation is more likely to
be lying than the filers of the lawsuit. Why? because
Taco Bell getting caught with its pants down isn't
going to faze it much - a few bucks in fines and damages,
big whoop, take it out of the advertising budget. But the
plaintiffs, unless they are malignantly crazy, have to
have amassed some data, because if they're proven wrong,
their entire enterprise is likely to go down the tubes -
even if they're right, they may not survive the success.
