McDonald's Says Studying Russian Claims After Operations at 4 Restaurants Suspended

McDonald's said Wednesday it is studying complaints from Russia's state food safety watchdog of sanitary breaches at its Moscow's restaurants, operations at some of which were suspended after checks.

"We are studying the essence of the claims to determine the steps necessary to open the restaurants for the customers as soon as possible," McDonald's Russian office said in a statement.
