USA /  Etats Unis :


Mc Donald's " that the restaurant had sold non-halal food
on many occasions.”

Michigan: McDonald’s and one of its franchise owners agreed to pay $700,000 
to members of the Muslim community to settle allegations a Detroit-area restaurant
falsely advertised its food as being prepared according to Islamic dietary law.

McDonald’s and Finley’s Management Co. agreed on Friday to the tentative
settlement, with that money to be shared by Dearborn Heights resident
Ahmad Ahmad, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum
in Dearborn and lawyers.

...
there are only two McDonald’s in the United States that sell halal products
and both are in Dearborn, which has one of the nation’s largest Arab
and Muslim communities. Overall, the Detroit area is home to about
150,000 Muslims of many different ethnicities....

The locations advertise that they exclusively sell halal Chicken McNuggets
and McChicken sandwiches and they have to get those products from
an approved halal provider, Daklallah said. He said there was no evidence
 of problems on the production side, but he alleges that the Dearborn location
 on Ford Road sold non-halal products when it ran out of halal.

Daklallah said he was approached by Ahmad, and they conducted an investigation.
A letter sent to McDonald’s Corp. and Finley’s Management by Daklallah’s
 firm said Ahmad had “confirmed from a source familiar with the inventory
” that the restaurant had sold non-halal food “on many occasions.”
