McDonald’s Germany sets October 27 end date for classic McRib
McDonald’s Germany says the classic McRib will be available only until October 27, 2026.
The burger has a pork patty with barbecue sauce, pickles and onions in a long bun, and has been a regular menu item in Germany for many years.
The company has introduced a McRib Sweet Heat as a new option.
It pairs the pork patty with sweet-and-spicy chili sauce, and is also described as a limited-time offer.
Whether the classic McRib is gone for good remains unclear, and McDonald’s has not given a reason for the planned change.
The change could end the burger’s long run as a regular item in Germany, unlike in the United States, where it has been offered for limited periods.
Restaurant availability may vary, and customers can check their local menu in the McDonald’s app.
A McDonald’s Germany customer newsletter says the classic McRib will be available only through October 27, 2026.
