It’s pork. Pork “trimmings”...and no, you don’t want to know what that means.
Definitely NOT made out of gym mats:
I have my doubts.
It’s pork. A skeptic teacher who tweeted about it being bad was hooked up with Mythbusters and got a tour of where they were made.
““Someone sent me a picture of what I thought was a McRib, and I put ‘Wow’ with a bunch of Os and Ws, and that looked disgusting,” said the teacher, Wes Bellamy, in the video. “And I was encouraging everyone to never eat anything from McDonald’s again.”
First, the pair check out the raw McRib meat—chunks of boneless pork picnic, which Imahara points out doesn’t contain bones or gristle.
After a visual inspection, the meat goes through the grinder before being formed into the shape of a rack of ribs. The patty, which contains pork, water, salt, dextrose and preservatives, is then misted with water to keep it from dehydrating during the freezing process.
“This is not like I thought it would be,” Bellamy says of the production.
Yum, that was good.
