McDonald's offers a wide array of food items, and most of them have been part of the menu for decades. One of the items that has become a favourite of many customers is the McRib sandwich. But unfortunately, McDonald's has been sued for the same McRib sandwich that has enjoyed a cult-like status in stores for a long time already.
A class-action lawsuit filed in the US District Court in Chicago on 23 December 2025, alleges that the fast-food giant has engaged in false advertising by marketing its McRib as a rib product when it reportedly does not contain any real rib meat. The suit claims the patty is a 'restructured' product made from a mixture of pork shoulder, heart, tripe, and scalded stomach.
