Taco Bell Fast food restaurants chain was sued by an American man


USA Today Magazine online said thar the Taco Bell Fast food restaurants chain was sued by an American man for misleading advertising as the US resident man complained that the $5.49 Mexican pizza he purchased in last September did not contain the same amount of meat filling as was advertised by Taco Bell.


Fast food chains  such as Taco Bell often come under scrutiny for the food that they serve، although they are subject to stringent quality checks، people often share complaints about the food they purchase from popular outlets and chains.


Frank Siragusa extremely dissatisfied with the food


Recently، a US resident، named Frank Siragusa، was left extremely dissatisfied with the food that he bought at a Taco Bell outlet in New York City last year. 


Taco Bell was sued by a class-action suit that was filed by Ridgewood resident Frank Siragusa، an American man، on Monday، this week،  in Brooklyn federal court، and accused Taco Bell of falsely advertising its products، including Mexican Pizza، Crunchwrap Supreme، Grande Crunchwrap and Vegan Crunchwrap. 


The Taco Bell's advertisement showed a wrap filled with meat


The American man mentioned in the suit، that the menu items advertised looked like they contained  at least double their actual content and he showed both pictures in the lawsuit - that of the product advertised and the real counterpart served، while  the photograph showed a wrap filled with meat، cheese، red and green vegetables but the actual did not match up. 


The American man lawsuit means that Taco Bell's actions are especially concerning now that inflation، food، and meat prices are very high and many consumers، especially lower-income consumers، are struggling financially.


Taco Bell advertises larger portions of food to attract consumers


Taco Bell advertises larger portions of food to attract consumers to their restaurants for their meals and away from competitors that more fairly advertise the size of their menu items، unfairly diverting millions of dollars in sales that would have gone to competitors chains.


Taco Bell is yet to respond to the lawsuit but Frank Siragusa wants the chain to compensate all the customers who purchased the items in New York State in the last three years after July 31، 2020 and this amounts to at least $5 million.
