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.

What was supposed to be a hassle-free treat quickly turned into a concerning incident when her daughter complained about the “ketchup” on her kid’s meal.

In a TikTok video, Floyd recounted her experience, saying, “Today I went to Burger King by my house.”

Moments after handing her daughter the kid’s meal, she heard, “Mom, I don’t want ketchup.” Assuming the order was wrong, Floyd took the bag back and discovered something alarming. “And I look in her bag and there is blood all over,” she explained.

 

Disturbed by the discovery, Floyd immediately contacted the fast-food chain to speak with the manager. To her disbelief, the manager admitted that an employee had recently cut their hand before bagging her food. “He was so nonchalant at this point, and I was livid,” Floyd expressed about the manager’s response, who offered her a refund if she returned to the store.

Floyd also reached out to her local health department to file a report but learned that not much could be done about the situation. Burger King later confirmed to People that it closed its Gettzville location, where the incident occurred, for several days to undergo a deep cleaning and retraining for the employees.

Despite the fast-food chain’s efforts to rectify the situation, Floyd remains “distraught.” Her daughter now requires monthly blood tests, and she has developed a fear of eating, worried that there might be blood in her food again.

Floyd hopes that her viral TikTok video, which has amassed over six million views, will serve as a public service announcement. Her message is not only for those who visited the Gettzville location on July 27 but for anyone who routinely reaches into a fast-food bag without checking its contents. “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,” Floyd advised.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of inspecting your food before consumption, especially when it comes to takeout meals. Floyd’s experience highlights the potential risks involved and encourages others to be vigilant about food safety.
