McDonald's food advert banned


A commercial for a McDonald's steak sandwich has been banned by television watchdogs for being misleading.

The sandwich looked better in the advert than in real life, said the Independent Television Commission (ITC), after investigating several customer complaints.

ITC staff tested several sandwiches and ruled that they contained less filling than the one in the commercial.

The fast food chain said it was "disappointed" with the ITC's decision.
