Fastfood: Der McRib verabschiedet sich aus dem Standardsortiment

After decades, McDonald's is removing the McRib from its standard menu in Germany, confirming that Tuesday will be the final day it is offered. However, there were recent reports that it was already sold out at some locations. The McRib, unlike most other McDonald's products, is made with pork. Its departure is not necessarily permanent, though, as "a temporary return at a later date is possible."

The McRib had previously only been a standard item in Germany and Luxembourg, and the same is now changing. In other countries, it is only offered as a promotional product. It seems McDonald's is not saying goodbye to pork, as the decision to remove the burger also does not mean a ban on pork-based ingredients. McDonald's did not provide further details on why it is removing the McRib from the menu, simply stating that "we regularly develop our range and consciously introduce changing promotional products." The reason for the McRib's departure sparked a strong reaction on social media.
