McFoam? McRib found to contain same ingredient as gym mats - WGHP
People have strong feelings about the elusive McRib sandwich but a new article in Time Magazine’s
Healthland blog may change some opinions.
The article identified 70 different ingredients that go into the boneless, rib-shaped, sauce-slathered concoction.
Azodicarbonamide is one ingredient found in the sandwich's bun and, according to Healthland, is most commonly used in the manufacturing of foam gym mats and the soles of shoes.
The blog also noted that the 70 ingredients, including Azodicarbonamide, exist in very small quantities and will almost certainly leave anyone eating a McRib unharmed.
Still, Azodicarbonamide is a substance banned in Europe and strictly regulated by the FDA.
Even if the McRib won't harm your outright it is, like most other things, best enjoyed in moderation.
On top of its ingredient list, keep in mind that one of the sandwiches, which is offered for a limited time, comes in at 500 calories with 980 mg of sodium.
