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.<\/p>\n
It was supposed to be a hassle-free treat, but after her daughter complained about the \u201cketchup\u201d on her kid\u2019s meal, it only got worse from there.<\/p>\n
She explained how moments after she handed the kid\u2019s meal to her daughter, she heard, \u201cMom, I don\u2019t want ketchup.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I take the bag back, thinking that they messed up our order,\u201d Floyd says. \u201cAnd I look in her bag and there is blood all over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Floyd shared with People that it wasn\u2019t until her daughter ate a few French fries and took a bite into her cheeseburger that she realized there was \u201cketchup\u201d on her meal.<\/p>\n
At first Floyd also thought it was ketchup, but then she realized it was blood.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was so nonchalant at this point and I was livid,\u201d Floyd said of the manager, who offered a refund if Floyd returned to the store.<\/p>\n

\nFloyd also contacted her local health department and filed a report, but learned not much could be done.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Although the fast food chain cleaned the store and employees were retrained on certain protocols, Floyd is still \u201cdistraught\u201d over the situation.<\/p>\n
Her daughter will need to get bloodwork done \u201cevery month,\u201d and she refuses to eat fearing there may be blood in her food.<\/p>\n
Floyd hopes, 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
