What’s Hiding Under the McRib Sauce?
by Audrey Morrison
It’s obvious that actual ribs aren’t sandwiched between the bun of a McRib. So what is? Well, apparently a lot of heart and sole goes into making the limited edition offering from McDonald’s. Literally.
Several people have dug up the actual ingredients of the McRib and they’re findings might make you delete the McRib Locator you saved in your bookmarks when you heard the sandwich made its way back on to the McDonald’s menu until November 14.
According to TIME’s Meredith Melnick and Chicago Magazine’s Whet Moser, there are roughly 70 ingredients in the limited release McRib. Pork patty, bun, barbecue sauce, pickle Slices and slivered onions are the ones we can see and that are listed as ingredients by McDonalds. The ones we can’t see are a bit more troubling.
Moser explains that the pork patty is actually characterized as a “restructured meat product” that tends to be made of pig heart, scalded stomach and tripe. When these ingredients are cooked with salt and water, proteins are extracted and act as a form of “glue” that helps keep the reshaped “rib” meat together. Melnick breaks down the bun, which is comprised of chemicals like azodicarbonamide, “a flour-bleaching agent most commonly used in the manufactur[ing] of foamed plastics like gym mats and soles of shoes.”
The McDonald’s website describes the McRib as “sweet, tangy, saucy temptation.” Diving a little deeper reveals the sauce-slathered sandwich boasts 500 calories and 26 grams of fat. One the bright side, there is 1 mg of Vitamin C.
Are you still ‘lovin’ it’?

Not in Australia... no processed food allowed.
Our school canteens have come along way since I was a child. Every Wednesday I give my daughter $4.00 and she gets a chicken salad and what ever else she likes....0 -
Every time I had one it always gave me diarrhea. Makes sense.0

They used to server something that looked just like that in the schools I went to, somewhat the same name. They were disgusting then
I've seen something that looks like them in the frozen foods aisle at some grocery stores. Take the time to read what's inside McDonald's food and you'll go out of your way to go somewhere else. I honestly don't recall the last time I went to a McDonald's.0 -
EXCUSE ME while I go barf!0

I guess I'll be the only one to say I enjoyed quite a few of these. Helped to contribute to me being so fat I'm sure. Hell, Id still eat them if it wouldn't cause weight gain. There's a lot we don't know about our foods unless we're all eating organic. I'm doubting most of us are. :laugh:0

It gets irritating. The same people that are going "ewww" "nasty" etc. got fat eating fast food. So now all of a sudden, since they are on some diet kick and thinking that eating healthier will "make" them healthy, anyone that eats fast food isn't in their class.Yep. I eat balut and dinuguan so this is tame compared to them. You "health" people are funny. Let me guess, you guys got fat eating healthy food right?
