McRib sandwiches contain same ingredient as yoga mats, shoe soles

Attention: Your McRib sandwich is probably not good for your heart. It has 980 mg of sodium and 10 grams of saturated fat. But then we already knew that it wasn’t exactly health food.

According to Time’s healthland blog, that’s not all it has: The sandwich contains 70 other ingredients. And some of those ingredients, such as azodicarbonamide, ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80 are kinda gross.

From the story:
These components are in small enough quantities to be innocuous. But it’s still a little disconcerting to know that, for example, azodicarbonamide, a flour-bleaching agent that is most commonly used in the manufacture of foamed plastics like in gym mats and the soles of shoes, is found in the McRib bun. The compound is banned in Europe and Australia as a food additive. (England’s Health and Safety Executive classified it as a “respiratory sensitizer” that potentially contributes to asthma through occupational exposure.) The U.S. limits azodicarbonamide to 45 parts per million in commercial flour products, based on analysis of lab testing.


Something tells me this news isn’t going to stop people from eating the sandwich.

Those things look nasty and so do McNuggets. They use byproducts, mix them with fillers and press the gunk into molds. How can anyone eat that stuff? :P

I don't like MCNasty anyway. Most of their food is questionable if it is food or not.

Hey we have something in common I think, I LOVE ICE CREAM. Eat it damn near everyday, without some good polysorbate 80, ice cream ain't the same. :wink:


ICK :x

Haven't eaten ice-cream since 1986.

I love those things, but you're right, they're not good for you. Most things that taste good aren't. lol

Exactly, Rick! Just as I've always said while weight training and dieting: If it tastes good, it's bad for you!

I love those things too, but they need to go away again for awhile. Usually when they reintroduce them I eat a couple of them, then I'm glad when they go away. I hope they don't become a permanent part of the menu!

Without much research, this really sounds like an urban legend, sort of similar to the legend that margarine, as opposed to butter, contains some of the same ingredients as plastic or something to that effect.

A McRib sandwich is practically healthy compared to menu items at P.F. Changs and Red Robin. Some of their meals have 4 times the sodium content.

So you eat there every Fri. and Sat. nights? :lol:


lol. I've had my fun. I'm an old man now FF. I only drink heavily on occasions (a good concert, sporting event, holiday, family get-together) nowadays. Otherwise, I just have a beer or glass of wine here or there. My friends all make fun of me. But I just can't bounce back the next day like I used to, so the twice-weekly stuff is over for me!
