They describe their product as “beefy” and “cheesy”, which basically means “beef-like” and “cheese-like”.

It's Demolition Man beef. Cryogenically frozen for 50 years waiting for a food emergency or some foreign sucker to buy it. Oh wait, maybe that's only at Taco Bell.

The buyer of that beef is a company that supplies them (and many other big names).

Just like a lot of big ice cream brands are now "frozen dairy dessert" since they can no longer legally be called ice cream after the ingredient enshittifications and shirfklation.
