Q: Are some of the products such as some of the sauces or the taco seasoning exactly the same as you'd find in Taco Bell restaurants? If not, what are some of the difficulties/challenges in getting it pretty close to the original? And what are the reasons they're not the same?
A: We work to match the QSR formulas as best we can. Some products are the exact same formula, some are slightly different. Any differences are driven by shelf life requirements, shipping requirements, packaging forms, or how consumers interact with the product at home.
Q: How did you come up with desserts like Cinnamon Nachos and Chocolate Tacos since they don't have any similar products on the Taco Bell menu? Where did you draw your inspiration?
A: We continually look for ideas that fit with the Taco Bell brand. The dessert items were an outcome of a larger new product ideation between YUM and Kraft. We strive to bring the QSR menu items to the grocery store where applicable, but there are also many ideas that fit the Liv Mas branding that are not in the QSR, but will work in grocery, like the dessert items. These dessert items allow us to extend the taco night experience to the dessert occasion at home.
Q: Were there any products that were tested that didn't quite make the cut? If so, can you talk about them?
A: As with any brand at Kraft, we start with a large number of ideas, and then cull them down based on consumer preference. Only the best ideas make it all the way to a market launch.
I followed up by asking if any of the products were exactly as you'd find at a Taco Bell restaurant and was told the taco shells and restaurants sauces are the same.
