In a proposed class action filed on Monday in Brooklyn federal court, Siragusa accused Taco Bell of deceiving consumers by falsely advertising its Mexican Pizza, Veggie Mexican Pizza, Crunchwrap Supreme, Grande Crunchwrap and Vegan Crunchwrap as containing "at least double" their actual content.
He is not alleging that the items contain less content than Taco Bell describes on its website.
Taco Bell, a unit of Yum Brands (YUM.N), did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"Taco Bell does not adequately disclose the weight of the beef or filling," Russo said in an email.
The case is Siragusa v Taco Bell Corp, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, No.
