Tiffany Floyd stopped at a Burger King drive-thru near her home in Western New York to grab a quick bite to eat while she was with her four-year-old daughter.
It was supposed to be an uneventful treat, but after her daughter complained about the “ketchup” on her food, it only got worse.
She explains that moments after giving her daughter the food, she heard, “Mom, I don’t want ketchup.”
“So I put the bag back, thinking they had made a mistake with our order,” says Ms. Floyd. I looked in the bag and there was blood everywhere.”
Mrs Floyd tells People that it wasn’t until her daughter ate some fries and took a bite of her cheeseburger that she realised there was “ketchup” in her food.
She immediately contacted the fast food chain and asked to speak to the manager, who admitted that an employee had recently cut his hand before bagging her food.
Her daughter will have to have blood tests “every month” and refuses to eat for fear of blood in her food.
Ms Floyd hopes her TikTok video, which has been viewed more than six million times, will serve as a public service announcement, and not just for those who visited the Gettzville establishment on 27 July.
