McDonald’s facing class-action suit over lack of rib meat in ‘McRib’ sandwich

Plaintiffs allege McDonald's misleads consumers by marketing the McRib as rib meat when it contains none; 72% of surveyed consumers expected rib meat, lawsuit says.

  • A class-action lawsuit alleges that McDonald's McRib sandwich contains no actual rib meat, despite its name and patty shape resembling ribs.
  • The lawsuit claims the McRib is marketed deceptively, as it contains ground pork from lower-quality cuts rather than premium rib meat.
  • McDonald's denies the allegations, stating the McRib contains 100% seasoned boneless pork and does not use pork hearts, tripe, or scalded stomach.
