Tiffany Floyd stopped at a Burger King
drive-thru near her home in Western New York for a quick bite to eat while out
with her four-year-old daughter.
It was supposed to be a hassle-free
treat, but after her daughter complained about the “ketchup” on her kid’s meal,
it only got worse from there.
“Today
I went to Burger King by my house,” Floyd said in a TikTok video.
She
explained how moments after she handed the kid’s meal to her daughter, she
heard, “Mom, I don’t want ketchup.”
“So
I take the bag back, thinking that they messed up our order,” Floyd says. “And
I look in her bag and there is blood all over.”

Floyd
shared with People that it wasn’t until her daughter ate a few
French fries and took a bite into her cheeseburger that she realized there was
“ketchup” on her meal.
At
first Floyd also thought it was ketchup, but then she realized it was blood.
She
immediately contacted the fast food chain and asked to speak to the manager who
admitted that an employee had recently cut their hand prior to bagging her
food.
“He
was so nonchalant at this point and I was livid,” Floyd said of the manager,
who offered a refund if Floyd returned to the store.

Floyd
also contacted her local health department and filed a report, but learned not
much could be done.
Burger
King confirmed to People that it closed its Gettzville location, where the
incident occurred, for several days as it underwent a deep cleaning and
retraining for the employees.
Although
the fast food chain cleaned the store and employees were retrained on certain
protocols, Floyd is still “distraught” over the situation.
Her
daughter will need to get bloodwork done “every month,” and she refuses to eat
fearing there may be blood in her food.
Floyd
hopes her TikTok video, which has been viewed more than six million times, will
serve as a public service announcement not just for anyone who visited the
Gettzville location on July 27, but for anyone who reaches their hand into a fast
food bag and takes a bite without looking.
“Every
time you get food through a drive-thru, you open the bag up and start eating
without even looking. I just want other people there to check to see if they
ate it, too.”
It never occurred to me that I should be
looking a little more closely at my food before I take a bite out of it.
