Mother gives 4-year-old daughter bag of food from Burger King then hears ‘Mom, I don’t want ketchup’
Tiffany Floyd was out with her four-year-old daughter when she stopped at a Burger King drive-thru close to her home in Western New York for a quick snack.
It was meant to be a simple treat, but things only got worse after her daughter complained about the “ketchup” on her child’s food.
Floyd posted a TikTok video saying, “Today I went to Burger King by my house.”
She described how she heard her daughter say, “Mom, I don’t want ketchup,” just after she had given her the child’s meal.
Floyd explains, “I take the bag back because I think they messed up our order.” “And I check her bag, and there’s blood everywhere.”

Floyd told People that she didn’t realize there was “ketchup” on her daughter’s food until she had eaten some French fries and taken a bite out of her cheeseburger.
Floyd initially believed it to be ketchup as well, but she later recognized it as blood.
She called the fast-food restaurant right away and asked to talk to the manager, who acknowledged that one of the staff had just cut their hand while bagging her food.
Floyd said of the manager, who offered a refund if Floyd went back to the store, “He was so nonchalant at this point and I was livid.”
Floyd also filed a report with her local health department, but was informed that not much could be done.
Burger King informed People that it had closed its Gettzville location, the scene of the incident, for a few days in order to thoroughly clean the space and retrain its staff.
Floyd is “distraught” about the incident even though the fast food chain cleaned the establishment and gave staff new training on certain procedures.
She won’t eat because she fears there might be blood in her food, and her daughter will need blood work done “every month.”
Floyd hopes that her TikTok video, which has received over six million views, will act as a PSA for everyone who reaches into a bag of fast food and takes a bite without looking, not just those who went to the Gettzville location on July 27.
“You open the bag and begin eating without even looking when you get food from a drive-thru. All I want is for other people to see if they also ate it.
I never realized that I ought to examine my food a bit more carefully before biting into it.
