Buffalo Wild Wings Responds to Lawsuit Over Boneless Chicken Wings with Sarcasm
(MENAFN) Buffalo Wild Wings has responded to a class-action lawsuit filed against them by a Chicago man, which alleges that their boneless chicken wings constitute "false and deceptive marketing" because they are not actually made from deboned chicken wings. The popular fast food chain responded with a tweet that seemed to be tinged with sarcasm.
Buffalo Wild Wings tweeted on Monday, "It's true. Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken. Our hamburgers contain no ham. Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo." The plaintiff, Aimen Halim, claims that Buffalo Wild Wings knowingly misleads its customers by marketing their boneless wings as wings, rather than as glorified chicken nuggets.
Halim's suit references a Nebraska man who made a speech to his city council in 2020 about boneless wings, stating that "Nothing about boneless chicken wings actually comes from the wing of a chicken. We would be disgusted if a butcher was mislabeling their cuts of meats but then we go around pretending as though the breast of the chicken is its wing."
The suit alleges that following the speech, Buffalo Wild Wings "refused to change its practices," and notes that Papa Johns and Domino's Pizza sell "actual chicken wings." The suit also includes a photo of a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant menu, where the "boneless" wing subcategory is found on a larger "wings" menu that also includes other non-wing options such as "cauliflower." "Traditional" wings and "tenders" can also be found on the menu.
The plaintiff says that had he known the products were not actual chicken wings, he either might not have purchased them, or would have paid less. In the "About The Wings" section of the Buffalo Wild Wings online menu, the product is described as "juicy all-white chicken." Although the company did not address the lawsuit directly, their tweet suggests that the boneless wings are made from chicken breast meat, rather than actual wings.
