WARNING: Graphic

A mum has revealed her horror after discovering a fast food meal she ordered for her daughter was splattered with blood.

Tiffany Floyd took her four-year-old to the fast food drive-through in Getzville, in the US state of New York, at about 12pm Friday (local time), and was shocked when she saw their meal covered in red liquid.

“All I heard was, ‘Mum, 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,” Ms Floyd, who lives in Sanborn, about 30 minutes north of Buffalo, told New York Post.

“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.”

Ms Floyd immediately called the establishment – and claimed 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.

Ms 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.

The Niagara County Department of Health did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Ms Floyd took to TikTok to post about the incident, which received 1.8 million views.

She also contacted Burger King’s corporate office via its website and heard back on Saturday afternoon (local time) from a representative who said they would pay for her daughter’s medical expenses.

“We did tell Burger King that medical expenses was not enough,” Ms Floyd said.

“And how my daughter has not eaten since this and my anxiety is through the roof and what if my daughter needs professional help from this.”

The company said it was “deeply upset and concerned to learn of this incident”.

“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,” the company said in a statement.

“We expect the restaurant to re-open Monday and are fully paying team members for any lost shifts during this temporary shut down.”
