McDonald's and one of its franchise owners agreed to pay $700,000 (£441,000) to members of the Muslim community to settle allegations a Detriot-area restaurant falsely advertised its food as being prepared according to Islamic dietary law.
McDonald's and Finley's Management agreed to the settlement, with that money to be shared by Dearborn Heights resident Ahmed Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers.
Mr Ahmed's attorney, Kassem Dakhlallah, said he was thrilled with the preliminary deal, expected to be finalised on March 1.
