KFC Sued For Serving Bacon To Muslim Couple

A Dearborn couple is seeking unspecified damages for being served bacon on a pair of sandwiches earlier this summer.

A Muslim couple from Dearborn is suing Kentucky Fried Chicken for having recently been served bacon on a chicken sandwiches. An unspecified amount of damages are being sought by the couple, who purchased the sandwiches at a Lincoln Park KFC. They allege cheese and bacon were added to the sandwiches after they requested cheese only, according to a Detroit Free Press report.

In May, a Dearborn man of Muslim faith sued Little Caesars for $100 million after he was allegedly served and then accidentally ate pepperoni made with pork, a food prohibited by Islamic law. The boxes were labeled "halal," but the pies inside were topped with regular pepperoni.

Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni filed lawsuits in both cases. He is also representing a Jewish woman in Sterling Heights, who is suing Denny’s Restaurants for also having been served bacon, the Free Press reported.

“The newer lawsuits allege breach of contract, negligent representation, and are asking for monetary damages for what they said is emotional and physical distress from having eaten bacon. Both lawsuits have been filed in Wayne County Circuit Court.”

“At KFC we respect the religious beliefs of our guests of all faiths," said a KFC spokesman. "We believe this lawsuit was filed as a result of a miscommunication between the guest and our team member. We cannot comment further on pending litigation against one of our franchisees.”

My wife is very allergic to seafood. Her throat swells up and she has difficulty breathing. We always mention it when we go to restaurants, but we still have still gotten food that has been contaminated on several occasions usually by seafood that was prepared on the same grill. We just accept that this is the way that it works. The only for sure way to get food that does not have crap in it that you do not want is to prepare it yourself.

I would say they don't have a case. It's not like they have separate kitchens. The bacon likely cooks on the same grill as the chicken, so it's not going to be Halal by any stretch of the imagination anyway, regardless of whether it was on their sandwich or not.

There is no compromise;it's either Halal or it's not. They knew what they were getting by going to a fast-food restaurant.

"Why is it I never hear from outraged Hindus that they were erroneously served beef products (including tallow fries)?"

Actually this HAS happened.

It was a Taco Bell, and the man ordered a bean burrito and got a beef burrito instead.

His demands?

That he get an all-expenses paid trip to India for his ENTIRE family so that he could "cleanse himself".

I've worked at Taco Bell.

Believe me, there is plenty of beef that gets mixed in with the beans when making a burrito.

We didn't sterilize the spoons in between orders. And why would (or should) we?

If someone is that religious, or anal-retentive, or allergic, don't go to places where you might be exposed to offending material.

Jeez, how hard is it to avoid fast food?

If it was Tyson’s bacon it should be halal.

Perhaps the biggest drama queens since Black Diva’s are Muslims and their demands.

Good to hear the manager stood his ground with the cry-baby.

Every Chinese restaurant I’ve ever seen serves kung pao chicken/beef. Ditto Thai satay dishes. Those with peanut allergies have enough sense to stay away.

PS I’m sorry they can’t enjoy the dishes. Really.

From what I just read, only 100 KFC are halal.

Why are they eating there anyway?

And how can I cash in on some whiny-ass phony “food offense”, too?

Ah every so often the mooslimes have to assert their tripe into the mix because wittle ole thems are not getting enough attention. Most of you have been talking fast-food restaurants, but lets harken back to the not so long ago days in which Target was also a victim of a lawsuit by these snot nosed mooslimes using the laws against the common citizens of the US. The case against Target was mooslime cashiers could not even touch pork to ring it up per se. They could not touch alcohol either. Not sure what happened to the case and I want to but not really assume it was settled out of court. Mooslimes must be struggling for money now their fund raising for ISIS is drying up. The Target issue, the hijab wearing mooslime for a driver’s license all occurred as another well known terrorist group was fading into the lime light due to the bombing of Afghanistan, yep, you guessed it Al Qaeda. And now you know the rest of the story.
