Following in the footsteps of its fast-food rivals, McDonald's is turning to the other white meat for a new menu offering.

The chain created a new pulled pork sandwich, according to a Twitter post from a local McDonald's that operates in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan.

Rivals have already jumped on the pulled pork bandwagon recently. Wendy's went whole hog on the meat last year with a trio of of limited-time offerings: a BBQ pulled pork sandwich, a BBQ pulled pork cheeseburger and some BBQ pulled pork cheese fries. Meanwhile, Burger King currently sells a pulled pork sandwich with onions and pickles on a hoagie bun.

Food news site Brand Eating notes the sandwich sells for two for $5 or for $5 as part of a combo meal with fries and a drink.
