El Pollo Loco Mocks KFC For Using Beef Ingredients In Their "Grilled" Chicken

Grilled chicken competitor El Pollo Loco is launching a new ad campaign in which they call out KFC for using "beef powder" and "rendered beef fat" in their new "grilled" chicken, says the LA Times.

The use of beef ingredients in grilled chicken just seems wrong to me, and we believe most consumers would agree," said Steve Carley, CEO of El Pollo Loco.

KFC doesn't see what the big deal is. "Small amounts of beef flavors are commonly used in seasonings for many food products, for both restaurant and retail use," a spokesperson for the chain told the LA Times.

"For Kentucky Grilled Chicken's topical seasoning, beef flavors account for only 0.2% of the total seasoning," he added.

Still, El Pollo Loco thinks people will want beef-free chicken. You can check out their new ad campaign at their new website: Beefychicken.com.

anyone who follows any form of strict diet like that shouldn't be eating out at all because you never know what was contaminated with what. Even when you buy food at the grocers, you have to be careful they didn't cut the meat with the same slicers/knives.
