McDonald’s under fire: Lawsuit questions ingredients of famous McRib sandwich, outlet says…
A lawsuit alleges McDonald’s misleads customers about the McRib sandwich, claiming it lacks actual pork rib meat despite its name.Summary
A recent lawsuit filed in Illinois is challenging McDonald’s marketing of its McRib sandwich, alleging that the name and description mislead customers into believing it contains pork rib meat. The plaintiffs claim the sandwich does not contain actual pork ribs, despite its name and shape, and that McDonald’s has “willfully, falsely, and knowingly omitted various material facts” about its ingredients. The lawsuit further points out the McRib’s relatively high price point, sometimes reaching $7.89. McDonald’s has responded, stating the allegations are inaccurate and emphasizing their commitment to using “real, quality ingredients,” asserting the McRib is made with 100% pork sourced from U.S. farmers. The case raises questions about food labeling transparency and customer expectations regarding popular menu items.
