Hawzah News Agency - (Birmingham - UK) - A Muslim man has branded a McDonald’s mistake “diabolical” after tasting pork for the first time in what was supposed to be a vegetarian McMuffin.

Fida Hussain, who does not eat pork in line with his faith, said he “trusted” McDonald’s and didn’t think it was acceptable for such a “big name” to get it so wrong.

The father-of-four has also been unhappy with the fast food chain’s response, as reported by Birmingham Live.

Mr Hussain, 49, said: “I would like an apology and financial compensation.

“I'm devastated. It's put me off McDonald's and I'm mortified.

“It's diabolical for a professional retailer that's worldwide.”

Mr Hussain, who lives in Birmingham, goes to the drive-thru at McDonald's in Small Heath for a breakfast deal every morning, comprising of an egg and cheese McMuffin, hash brown and a coffee.

But it all went wrong on December 17.

"I trusted them,” Mr Hussain said.

"I was watching Judge Judy and bit into the McMuffin and knew instantly when I tasted it that it was meat.

The taste was horrible, I knew straightaway and spat it out.
