McDonald’s responds to lawsuit over McRib meat: ‘Many of the claims are inaccurate’
McDonald’s refuted claims in a recent lawsuit alleging the McRib sandwich contains low-quality pork products, asserting its ingredients are accurate and high-quality.Summary
McDonald’s has issued a response to a class-action lawsuit filed against them, disputing allegations that the McRib sandwich is made with “lower-grade pork products.” A spokesperson for McDonald’s USA stated, “This lawsuit distorts the facts and many of the claims are inaccurate,” emphasizing the company’s commitment to “real, quality ingredients.” The lawsuit claims the name “McRib” is misleading, suggesting the sandwich contains pork rib meat when it’s actually made from ground pork shoulder, heart, tripe, and scalded stomach. McDonald’s maintains the McRib patty is made with 100% pork sourced from U.S. farmers and lists its ingredients as pork, water, salt, dextrose, and rosemary extract, denying the use of hearts, tripe, or scalded stomach. The McRib, first introduced in 1981, is a limited-time offering that has gained a cult following over the years.
