McDonald’s Is Getting Sued Over ‘Fake Cheese’ In Mozz Sticks
It’s been a few years since the McDonald’s pink slime footage made its way into the public eye, and left people wondering, ‘that’s real food?’ Well, the proof may be in the pudding — er ah, mozzarella sticks.
McDonald’s Corp. could be at the center of another lawsuit, allegedly due to making false advertising claims on the naturalness of the cheese found in their mozzarella sticks.
Apparently, a customer, Chris Howe, brought fourth the lawsuit citing the $1.29 item did not contain 100 percent real cheese. Howe claims the mozzarella sticks are made with a “filler” containing starch, which, according to the FDA is a big no-no.
McDonald’s Corp. claims it is following federal regulations and the cheese used for the mozzarella sticks is, in fact, real. Well, if cheese happens to be found inside the mozzarella sticks at all.
