Umatoma Cheese Beef Bowl, added today, has also been set with a limited-time flag. The announcement made no mention of it being a limited-time item, but the menu data now formally treats it as one.
A Major Lineup Shakeup on the Launch Day of New Items

Editor's Note
9 items delisted, 4 more flagged for discontinuation — a major menu clear-out affecting 13 items in total. The day a new item launches is also, it turns out, a day of farewells.
