Likened to 'packing foam' and 'gray IKEA furniture' the McDonald's McRib patty came under scrutiny last year after one was photographed on the production line minus sauce and pickles. But now the fast food giant is hoping to get people 'lovin" its seasonal treat again by showing exactly how the boneless, preformed morsel is made. A new behind-the-scenes video takes viewers inside the Lopez Foods production facility in Oklahoma City where giant chunks of pork are ground down - no packing foam in sight.

The other white meat.
I’m guessing pork, since the U.S. pork industry is always thrilled when it’s reintroduced on the McDonald’s menu.
Real food is not served there...people know it - it’s their choice to consume it...it’s all about price - process - and delivery to the masses...per there billions served logo...
I remember road side joints that actually cooked real - local meat - and did so inexpensively...those hamburgers today taste NOTHING like the ones I grew up on...that’s a shame...
I’m guessing some executes thought it would be a great idea to centrally locate the processing meat business for maximum profits - while the consumer was left as the guinea pig!
oh my...don’t eat at those places anymore...bad - bad - bad...
No mystery; lips and a—holes.
In another 20 years, we’re going to see 100% automated processing plants where live pigs walk in at one end, and sausages and bacon come out the other..
I’m sure it’s crap, but it’s the only thing McD’s sells that tastes good, or has any taste at all.
The only time I visit Mcd’s is when the MacRib is “in season.”
‘Sow’lent green.
Does that video feature Grant Imahara, formerly of Mythbusters? I heard his new gig was doing spots for McDonalds busting myths that their food is made out of pig ears and sawdust.
“And you kids stay off of my lawn!”
The sauce camoflages the foam.
I remember the roadside joints of the 60s. They went out of business because one never knew if he was going to walk in and get a great meal or spend the next 250 miles puking his guts out.
I eat at McD’s...2 Double Cheeseburgers and a soda for $3.50. It fills me up, and I’ve never puked my guts out afterward.
Folks eat at McDonalds for relatively cheap, safe food while on the road. I sometimes eat there in town when I want something fast. It is fast food, and that is not evil. If it was wrong, there wouldn’t be so many McDonalds...
McRibs are made of McAnimals.
That’s part of the appeal of the chains, Mc D’s or any of the others, you always know pretty much what you’re going to get. It’s not 5-star dinning and you don’t expect it to be, but it’s safe, filling and affordable. And that McRib is very tasty, sawdust and all.
Pork from pigs castrated by Senator-elect Joni Ernst (R-IA)...soon to be (RINO-IA) like most pols of the ‘Pub party. Mitch McConnell drone.
Note they are marked 'for export' so who buys these things?
