Taco Bell has announced that it will begin serving Nacho Fries with Vegan Nacho Sauce on Oct. 12, the first time it’s gone national with a vegan product.
Nacho Fries actually returned to the menu for a limited time Sept. 28, but the vegan version of the sauce’s release is still over a week off.
Taco Bell takes pride in its ability to adapt its dishes to vegetarian tastes and maintains a page on its website called Veggie Cravings, currently featuring 18 items marked with a green diamond with the letter “V,” meaning vegetarian. Nacho Fries do not carry the symbol.
The Irvine, California-based fast food giant calls the vegan cheese sauce proprietary. It was tested in Hollywood last June as part of an entrée called a Vegan Crunchwrap. The sauce tested well, according to a news release.
The seasoned fries are already certified vegan, the news release said.
This time around, Nacho Fries come in a large size with a suggested price of $2.99 in addition to regular for $2.19. Prices vary by location.
