McDonald’s hit with class action lawsuit — what it’s about and how the company responded

McDonald’s is under scrutiny following a class-action lawsuit alleging the McRib sandwich misleads consumers, stating it “does not contain any actual pork rib meat at all.” Filed in Illinois, the suit argues that the sandwich is made from lower-quality pork cuts, which includes shoulder, heart, and scalded stomach. Plaintiffs also mention the high price and rib-like marketing as deceptive.
