McDONALD’S has come under fire for mistakenly giving Muslim Fatima Hussain unblessed meat she is forbidden to eat.
Fatima was lefted after a North branch of the fast food
chain gave her a chicken burger instead of a spicy veggie deli burger.
Islam forbids the eating of any kind of meat which is not “Halal”, meaning it has been blessed by an imam and slaughtered in special conditions.
Fatima, 21, had managed to live her whole life carefully avoiding breaking the strict rules of her religion until she emigrated to the North.

However, the Northumbria University student was left dismayed when McDonald’s offered no apology.
The fast food chain has since said sorry.
She said: “It’s the first time in my life I’ve eaten meat which was not Halal. I was shocked and seriously mentally disturbed.
“I didn’t want to accept the refund because that’s not the point. Can a refund bring back 21 years of religious practice?
“I’ve kept the receipt and I’ve asked them for a written apology. They said an area manager was going to give me a ring but I have heard nothing.
