00:02A class action lawsuit filed on December 23rd in U.S. District Court in Chicago accuses McDonald's
00:08of false advertising over the McRib sandwich, according to CBS News. The lawsuit claims the
00:13McRib contains no actual pork rib meat and instead uses a reconstructed patty made from
00:18ground lower-grade pork products. The lawsuit says spare ribs and baby back ribs are premium pork
00:24cuts, yet the McRib contains no rib meat while remaining one of McDonald's most expensive menu
00:29items. It also alleges McDonald's promotes the sandwich's limited availability to drive sales
00:34while charging premium prices. The lawsuit accuses McDonald's of fraud and misrepresentation and
00:40seeks damages along with a court order barring deceptive naming, marketing, and advertising of
00:45the McRib. McDonald's said the claims are inaccurate and stated the McRib is made with 100% seasoned
00:51boneless pork and does not include pork heart, tripe, or stomach. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
