California Woman Finds Plastic Bag Inside Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme, Sparking Food Safety Questions
CALIFORNIA — A California woman’s Taco Bell meal turned alarming after she found a piece of plastic inside her Crunchwrap Supreme, sparking online outrage and renewed concerns about fast-food safety.
TikTok user Kelsey (@kezleyyy) shared a viral video with over 444,000 views, showing a plastic bag tied into a knot inside her food. “Taco Bell, you better count your days,” she warned in the clip, holding up the plastic coated in sauce.
What Happened Inside the Taco Bell Kitchen
Kelsey said she called the Taco Bell location where she bought her food but received no explanation. “I was mid-bite when I found that in my Crunchwrap,” she said. The strange find immediately sparked speculation, with some joking that the bag might have contained “drugs,” while others suspected a kitchen mistake.
Former Taco Bell employees commented that the plastic resembled the top of a carry-over beef bag, which is cut off before meat is used. One ex-employee said the piece might have accidentally fallen into the food prep area, calling it a clear lapse in food safety.
“Shouldn’t have happened — no excuses,” another former worker commented, stressing that such incidents reflect poor quality control and should never occur.
Public Reaction and Safety Concerns
Taco Bell has not yet issued an official response. The video reignited conversations about how fast-food chains handle sanitation and kitchen oversight, especially during busy hours.
Although incidents like this are rare, they raise valid questions about food preparation practices. Plastic or other foreign materials in meals can pose serious health risks if ingested.
BroBible, which covered the story, noted that Taco Bell has faced similar complaints in the past, though none have resulted in major legal action.

Fast-Food Quality Control
Food industry experts say these situations often stem from human error in fast-paced kitchens. However, for large companies like Taco Bell, even isolated mistakes can damage public trust.
Customers online are now urging the brand to review its food handling and sanitation protocols to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
