McDonald’s is facing backlash over recent packaging alterations in its Chicago branch. The discontent primarily centers around the new color choice for the burger wrappers, which some say mirrors the flag of Israel.
A week after the change, an American citizen publicly expressed her dissatisfaction with the updated design. The color shift has led to claims of the company making a political statement through its packaging.
The recent events have fueled boycott campaigns against McDonald’s in countries including Egypt, Morocco, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Jordan.
