McDonald's January worldwide sales fall more than expected


    (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp's worldwide same-restaurant sales fell a steeper-than-expected 1.8 percent in January, as the company fights to win back diners around the world and shake off the after-effects of a supplier scandal in China.

    The company said sales at U.S. restaurants open at least 13 months rose 0.4 percent in the month.

    Analysts on average had expected a 1.2 percent decline in worldwide same-restaurant sales and a 0.3 percent rise in U.S. same-restaurant sales, according to research firm Consensus Metrix.
