Eating a burger is a moment of joy and enjoyment for many. However, a simple dining experience turned into a horrifying incident for a New York mother, Tiffany Floyd, and her four-year-old daughter Tay. As per a New York Post report, the mother ordered food for herself and her daughter from a Burger King outlet in Getzville, New York on July 26, 2024. After the child ate some fries and a portion of her hamburger, the mother discovered that her daughter’s food was stained with blood. Floyd described the entire incident in a clip posted on TikTok.
“I gave him the bag to eat and I heard ‘Mom I don’t want ketchup,’ so I took the bag back and thought they messed up our order and I saw there was blood on his bag, his hamburger, his toys, his fries, everything,” Floyd was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. “I immediately told him to spit out his food. He ate the fries and a little bit of the hamburger. And then I looked at my food, and there was blood on my food too.”
Floyd contacted the restaurant and was told that a team member had previously cut his hand at the restaurant.
“I called Burger King and the manager told me someone cut their hand and he would refund me if I came back. I contacted my local health department and they filed a report, but there wasn’t much more they could do,” the mom revealed.
