The Fry Oil Fiasco – McDonald’s
A lawsuit against McDonald’s was filed in the early 2000s on behalf of a number of vegetarians, including two Hindu plaintiffs who were prohibited from eating beef according to their religious beliefs.
Fries and hash browns were at the focus of the legal dispute because, despite what McDonald’s said in marketing materials, the vegetable oil used to fry them still contained beef essence. As part of the settlement, the business gave $10 million in donations to Hindu organizations in addition to paying 11 plaintiffs $4,000 each.

Holding Out On The Fair Food Program – Wendy’s
Consumer advocacy groups and organisations that support farm workers have criticized Wendy’s for refusing to sponsor the Fair Food Program, a movement that aims to provide farmworkers a voice and methods to monitor workplace abuse for those who put food on our tables. One of the few significant fast food restaurants, Wendy’s, hasn’t joined the program since its launch in 2011.
