Perry in Chicago ruled that a proposed class-action McRib lawsuit against McDonald\u2019s can move forward. Filed by four consumers last December, the suit says the highly popular sandwich contains no rib meat. The plaintiffs allege the patty is made from cheaper pork parts like shoulder, heart and tripe and pressed into the shape of a rack of ribs.<\/p>\n<p>The company describes the meat as \u201cseasoned boneless pork,\u201d according to <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/11\/04\/business\/mcdonalds-mcrib-lawsuit.html\">The New York Times<\/a>, and lists its ingredients on its website. It argued that the \u201cMc\u201d prefix only marks the sandwich as a McDonald\u2019s product and doesn\u2019t promise rib meat. McDonald\u2019s also denies using organ meat.<\/p>\n<p>But Perry didn\u2019t buy it. Sure, a McFlurry may not contain a literal flurry, but she found it reasonable for a customer to expect rib meat in something called the McRib. \u201cThe court is not persuaded by defendant\u2019s many arguments that it would be unreasonable or fanciful to think the McRib contains rib meat,\u201d she wrote. The suit seeks unspecified damages and an end to the McRib\u2019s current marketing. Perry dismissed five claims but let the deception, fraud and unjust enrichment claims proceed.<\/p>\n<p><ent-results id=\"results\" class=\"ent-component\" is-article-embed=\"true\" should-update-url=\"false\" lead-source-type=\"article\" lead-source-id=\"465180\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/buying-a-franchise\/customers-suing-mcdonalds-in-chicago-are-not-lovin-the-mcrib\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The McRib may truly only be back for a limited time.
