Tiffany Floyd stopped at a Burger King drive-thru near her home in Western New York to grab a quick meal with her four-year-old daughter.
What was supposed to be a simple treat turned into a problem when her daughter complained about the “ketchup” on her meal. Tiffany shared the story in a TikTok video.
She explained that after handing the meal to her daughter, she heard, “Mom, I don’t want ketchup.” Tiffany thought there might have been a mistake with the order, so she checked the bag and found it covered in blood.

Floyd told People that her daughter first noticed something was wrong after eating a few French fries and taking a bite of her cheeseburger. She thought it was ketchup, but then realized it was actually blood.
Floyd quickly contacted Burger King and spoke to the manager. The manager admitted that an employee had cut their hand before packing the food.
“He was so casual about it, and I was really angry,” Floyd said. The manager offered a refund if Floyd came back to the store.
Floyd also contacted her local health department and filed a report, but found out there wasn’t much they could do.
Burger King confirmed that it closed the Gettzville location, where the incident happened, for several days to clean the restaurant and retrain the staff.
Even though the restaurant was cleaned and the employees were retrained, Floyd is still very upset. Her daughter now needs to get blood tests every month and is scared to eat food because she worries there might be blood in it.
Floyd hopes her TikTok video, which has been viewed over six million times, will alert others to check their food carefully before eating. She wants people to be more cautious about what they’re eating from fast food bags.
“Every time you get food from a drive-thru, open the bag and check it before you start eating,” Floyd said. “I never thought I needed to look so closely at my food before eating it.”
