The state Commission Against Discrimination has found probable cause to credit allegations that a McDonald’s in western Massachusetts intentionally served a Muslim customer bacon in a sandwich, a charge that the restaurant “vehemently denies,” according to state documents.
The allegations of discrimination on the basis of religion, Islam, and national origin, Yemeni, in a place of public accommodation arose after Ghadir Alahmar, a Chicopee resident, went to the McDonald’s on Meadow Street in Chicopee on June 29, 2021 with her two 7-year-old sons, according to the complaint filed with the MCAD on April 20, 2022.
McDonald’s also “states one of their employees was aware of the tenets” of Alahmar’s religion “that forbid the consumption of products that come from pig, which may suggest that serving the Complainant bacon was not in error,” the Investigative Disposition states.
