McDonald's restaurants drop halal food after suit Jun 24th 2013, 17:00 The only two McDonald's restaurants in the United States that serve food prepared according to Islamic law have stopped doing so. The fast food giant and a Michigan franchise owner agreed to a $700,000 legal settlement in April after a customer sued. The fast-food giant said in a statement Monday that the locations in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, which has a large Muslim population, no longer offer a halal McChicken sandwich or Chicken McNuggets "to focus on our national core menu." The corporation says it takes into account "local and dietary preferences." Neither the statement nor a spokeswoman said whether the decision was related to the lawsuit. The settlement is being shared by the customer, a Muslim-run Detroit health clinic, Dearborn's Arab American National Museum and lawyers.
