Members of the Muslim community will receive $700,000 from McDonald's and one of its franchise owners to settle allegations a Detroit-area McDonald's falsely advertised its food as being prepared Halal (according to Islamic dietary law), according to The Washington Post. On Jan. 18, McDonald's and Finley's Management Co. agreed to the tentative settlement. The money will be shared by Ahmed Ahmed, a Dearborn Heights resident; a Detroit health clinic; the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers. The preliminary deal is expected to be final-ized March 1. McDonald's and Finley's Management say the settlement is in their best interests - although they deny any liability.
