Answer

In 2003, a class-action lawsuit was filed against McDonald's, claiming that the company falsely advertised that its fries were made with beef. The lawsuit alleged that the fries were actually made with a mixture of beef and vegetable oils, and that the company's marketing materials had misled consumers into believing that the fries were made with 100% beef.
