Fast food giant McDonald's Corporation announced that it would stop offering halal items at two of its Michigan franchises after a 7, 00,000 dollar settlement with a muslim customer.
The two restaurants in Detroit suburb Dearborn will no longer carry Chicken McNuggets and McChicken sandwiches as the customer had accused McDonald's of not consistently following Muslim law to meet the halal designation.
