The McRib is Back: McDonald’s Announces Limited-Time Return in December
McDonald’s fans, rejoice! The iconic McRib is making its much-anticipated return to participating restaurants nationwide starting December 3 for a limited time. This announcement comes as the fast-food giant rebounds from a recent E. coli outbreak tied to onions in its Quarter Pounders, signaling a major step toward recovery.
The McRib, beloved for its tender, barbecue-glazed pork patty and unique seasonal appeal, is a fan favorite that many look forward to every year. Now, just in time for the holiday season, McDonald’s is bringing back this crave-worthy sandwich, offering a delicious treat for those who have missed it.
While McDonald’s deals with the aftermath of the E. coli issue—affecting some locations that had served tainted onions—the company is doubling down on its recovery efforts. McDonald’s is investing over $100 million to boost sales and expedite the recovery of affected franchises, working to restore customer confidence and ensure safety moving forward.
The FDA confirmed last week that there is no ongoing food safety risk related to the outbreak, and McDonald’s restaurants have since taken the necessary steps to address the issue.
With the McRib’s return and a robust plan for the future, McDonald’s aims to cap off the year with a major win, welcoming both loyal and new customers back to its dining rooms for a taste of this seasonal favorite. Get ready to savor the saucy goodness of the McRib—it’s only here for a limited time!
