Q: I am confused, when I went to buy this product at HEB the label says it "Contains a bioengineered product" but your label here does not indicate it. Why two different labels?
submitted by Ron - 8 months ago
A: We're sorry for the confusion. Our Old El Paso Taco seasoning mix contains bioengineered food ingredients.

For products not labeled gluten free, we will always declare gluten containing ingredients if they are added to the product. If there are no gluten-containing ingredients listed in the product ingredient label, but the product does not make a gluten free claim, it is because we cannot fully assure that this product is gluten free. Hope this helps.

Terrible taco seasoning! The color in the packet was white instead of the usual orange-ish brown. The flavor wasn't spicy, it made my ground beef gooey. What happened to the original product? I'll have to switch brands, thanks for nothing!

Flavor is Awful

Everybody in my family has been using Old El Paso seasoning mix way before I was even born (I'm in my 30s now). We're obsessed, but something has changed and it now tastes spicy and metallic. We assumed we got bad packets, but every packet has tasted the same and it's awful!!! We've tried several other brands, but nothing even comes close to how good the old El Paso used to be. Wish there was a warning before the drastic change.

Horrible, I’ve had to throw out 4lbs of hamburger meat now. We cook 2lbs each time and the 1st time, I thought it was just a mix up, but this is the second time we couldn’t eat it because it tasted so bad.

I dont understand what is the difference with El Pasos quality control. We make fajitas on a weekly basis. We use the pre-measured packets and the most recent packet used was white and had no season, smell or normal flavor. I poured into mix with $45 of steak and it tased awful, we had to throw it out. Its almost 1 out of every 8 packets are bad!

This seasoning has changed. Bland, no flavor! Used to be the best seasoning. I was so loyal and now will be going to another brand to get back to "good" taco seasoning flavor. CHANGE IT BACK!! Awful!

Horrible tasting now! What happened? I've been using this for decades and the last 2 times it smells horrific and tastes even worse! We thought maybe the meat was bad but it was not...it's the seasoning! Threw it all away, again! Guess we'll be looking for another brand

Absolutely disgusting. Just made 2 pounds of ground beef that is now trash. When I opened the packet, the seasoning was mostly white and smelled different. Once I mixed it with beef, I was gagging. The smell is horrible and I refuse to taste it. I made tacos just a few months ago and did not have this issue. I hope whatever is wrong is fixed.

Used to be the only seasoning I'd use, tried twice since the recipe change. Mild seasoning is so bad i threw out 3 pounds of meat it's the wrong color and has no flavor, Original still has spice to it but flavor dissappears after a second.

The mild seasoning has changed. The taste is very different and does not taste like it did. The color is very light color. Won't be buying this anymore.

Since making the taco seasoning gluten free, it no longer has much flavor and is gummy. I support making products available to those with food allergies, but can you please make it an option while keeping the original recipe the same?

I have been using this packet of seasoning. Mix for decades! I have always very much liked it. Got one a few weeks ago and the color was different; it was almost white in color. Made it with ground beef, which is not my norm and it was in edible. It was gooey sticky, the meat was gray colored… Etc. Had to throw it out. Bought another one thinking that perhaps I had gotten some bad ground beef. I made it my usual way with ground turkey and it was awful! Odd flavor and thick and gooey. Completely different color, flavor, and texture , from what it used to be. Please change it back. !!

I used a different mix for years and then the store was out and I found I loved this one so much more. HOWEVER, you have ruined it. We a lot of taco's and I bought 10 packs!! All ten are this new disgusting no flavor goop producing garbage. What have you done? It is as if there is nothing in there but the cornstarch. When I added it to the meat I didn't notice until the color was off. It was not that deep red color. Then when I tasted it there isn't any flavor at all. I hoped it was just the one package but nope. Two out of the 10 that I bought are this way. I am so disappointed.
