This 'nasty' Macca’s's video will make you think twice about eating their food

We all know that fast food isn't the healthiest option out there, but we also know that sometimes it's just so darn delicious and convenient that we can't resist giving in to temptation every now and then. Take McDonald’s for example. The food is cheap, tasty, and there's just something about that juicy, greasy goodness that hits the spot every time.
While we all know that Maccas isn't exactly fine dining, most of us turn a blind eye to the reality of what goes into our food when craving something quick and easy.
But this week, one Twitter user decided to shine a light on the dark secret behind one of McDonald's most popular menu items.
A recent video shared on the popular social media site Twitter has revealed the 'nasty' truth behind the McRib burger, and let's just say, many customers are vowing to never order it again.
The footage shows frozen blocks of the ‘rib’ product being slapped onto a grill in batches of six. The items appeared to be ‘pre-formed’ to look like slabs of meat. Once the pieces are taken off the grill, they are placed directly into pull-out containers filled with a thick, brown barbecue sauce.
Finally, the ribs are then placed onto a bun that has been topped with lettuce, pickles, and onion slices. The entire meal is then scooped into a box and sent down a chute to the customer.
The person who uploaded the video suggested that the ribs could barely be considered food, writing: ‘Can this even be considered food? A McDonald's worker decides to reveal how a McRib is made.’
It’s unclear which store the footage was filmed inside, however, it can be assumed that most branches would follow similar processes for their meals.
Since being posted online, the clip has been viewed more than 6.7 million times with many viewers expressing their disgust at what they've seen. Many of them have ‘vowed’ to never buy the meal again.
‘I just threw up in my mouth. Just a little,’ said one person. Another commented that the meat looked like a ‘fried kitchen sponge soaked in BBQ sauce’.
A third commented: ‘Wow, I don’t eat pork but wow that’s nasty.’
However, others were less offended and said that this is just what frozen food looks like.
Someone wrote: ‘Were you under the impression that they were actually smoking and deboning ribs back there.’
‘It’s frozen meat, reheated with sauce on it. I don’t see a surprise here. It’s fast food,’ another one said.
McDonald’s has been contacted to comment on the video but are yet to reply.
