Big Mac loses case over non-halal food, to pay $700k

January 22, 2013 13:46

Food giant McDonald's and one of its franchise owners has agreed to pay 700,000 dollars to members of the Muslim community, following allegations that a Detroit-based restaurant had falsely advertised that its food is being prepared according to the Islamic dietary law.

Michigan resident Ahmed Ahmed had sued the food chain and Finley's Management Co in view of allegations that Ahmed had bought a chicken sandwich in 2011, which was later found out to be non-halal, reports the Telegraph.

Along with Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers, will also be partners in the money from the settlement.
