Blood Found On Child’s Burger King Kids’ Meal, Mother Says

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 18

A horrified New York mother discovered blood splattered on her four-year-old daughter’s Burger King kids’ meal, the New York Post reports.

“Tiffany Floyd took her 4-year-old to the fast food drive-through in Getzville, NY, at around 12 p.m. Friday, and was shocked when she saw their meal covered in red liquid,” the outlet wrote.

“All I heard was, ‘Mom, I don’t want ketchup,’ so I grabbed her bag, thinking that they messed up our order again, and I looked and there was just blood all over her hamburger, all over the wrapper. I looked inside the bag, there’s blood on her toys, everything,” Floyd told the outlet.

“So I instantly told her to spit out her food. She did have fries and a bit of her hamburger. And then I looked at my meal, and there was blood on mine too,” she added.

The blood reportedly was caused by a cook having a cut on his hand.

From the New York Post:

Floyd immediately called the establishment — and claims the manager, Dan, “did inform me that a cook had cut his hand and he was bleeding,” she said.

“And that he was so sorry, and if I came back, he would refund me.”

She also called her daughter’s pediatrician, who said she would have to wait 30 days to get her little one’s blood tested to see if she contracted any disease.

“And then get her blood work done every so often for a year to see if something comes up,” she added.

The manager wouldn’t tell her who the injured employee was.

“If they just make him go and get tested, my daughter would not have to get pricked,” she said.

Floyd also contacted her local health inspector at the Niagara County Department of Health to file a report, and “he spoke to the same manager, who said, ‘I did have somebody cut their finger, but they didn’t think they were bleeding that bad,’” she recalled.

Floyd shared the incident on Facebook and TikTok.

“The woman, Tiffany Lynn, wrote in a post made public to her Facebook page on Friday, July 26,” WGRZ noted.

The Facebook post read:

“I’m out doing running around with the kids and Tay wanted a happy meal so I stop and I usually take her food out for her but today I just gave her the bag than I hear ‘mommy there’s ketchup and I didn’t want ketchup’ so I take it back to see if they messed up our order and its BLOOD!!! There’s blood all over her food and inside the bag … I called Burger King because I knew if I went back there I’d end up in jail and the manager calmly goes ‘ya our one guy cut his hand , if you come back I’ll refund you the money’ WHAT!!! So now I’m waiting for Tays doctor to call me back to see if I have to take her to the hospital to get blood work.”

WGRZ reports:

The incident received the attention of many people around Western New York with over 9.6K shares on Facebook and over 6 million views on TikTok.

The 2 On Your Side Team reached out to Tiffany the customer, Burger King and the Erie County Department of Health which gave us the following statements:

“We were deeply upset and concerned to learn of this incident. We have been in contact with the Guest and are working with her to resolve this incident. This incident was the result of a team member in the restaurant who injured his finger, and upon noticing immediately stepped away. We closed the restaurant to retrain all the team members and hired an external company to complete a deep cleaning. We expect the restaurant to re-open Monday and are fully paying team members for any lost shifts during this temporary shut down.” said a spokesperson for Burger King.

“Though we did not receive a complaint from the public regarding this incident, based on news reports our sanitarians did log a complaint and our department will be following up with a facility inspection. Our public health sanitarians follow up on all health and safety complaints received about food facilities in Erie County. Summaries of complaint-based and routine inspections are available online within a few days of an inspection at https://www.healthspace.com/ erieny.” said the Erie County Health Department.
