Hearts, tripe, and stomachs instead of ribs. McDonald's must face a lawsuit
A federal judge in the U.S. has allowed a lawsuit against McDonald's to proceed, alleging that the McRib sandwich misleads customers into believing it contains rib meat. The lawsuit claims that the sandwich is made from cheaper pork parts instead of actual ribs. McDonald's denies these allegations, asserting that they have always been transparent about the ingredients. A survey indicated that a significant percentage of respondents believed the McRib contained rib meat, influencing their purchasing decisions. The ruling coincides with the limited-time return of the McRib to select locations in the U.S.
