Lawsuit Claims McDonald's McRib Contains No Rib Meat

A federal lawsuit alleges McDonald's misleads consumers by claiming its McRib contains actual pork rib meat, when it is reportedly made from lower-grade pork parts like shoulder and stomach. McDonald's denies the claims, stating the sandwich is made with 100% pork. The lawsuit seeks damages and measures to prevent deceptive advertising, citing consumer confusion due to the sandwich's limited availability and marketing.

Maître Saladier Inc. Recalls Lorraine Quiche Over Import Inspection Issues

Maître Saladier Inc. in Quebec is recalling about 6,000 pounds of Lorraine Quiche containing pork that were not reinsured upon import into the US, with no reports of illness so far. The products, produced in April 2025, were shipped to several US states and do not bear a USDA inspection mark. Consumers are advised not to eat the products and to dispose of or return them. The recall was initiated after routine surveillance detected the issue, and FSIS is verifying that the products are removed from the market.

California's Anti-Animal Cruelty Law for Pork Upheld by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has upheld California's anti-animal cruelty law, Proposition 12, which bans the sale of pork produced in other states unless the sow was housed in conditions that allowed her to move freely. The National Pork Producers Council challenged the law, arguing that it impermissibly regulates commerce between the states. The decision was 5-4, with some disagreement among the justices in the majority on the reasons why the California law should be upheld. The ruling leaves room for states to regulate what businesses can and must do within their borders, impacting how those businesses act in other states.

The company's overall sales were little changed compared to last year, and all four of its major protein businesses are experiencing "unusual challenges." Tyson Foods also announced plans to lay off 10% of its corporate workforce and 15% of its senior management positions.
