Here’s What Happened to Tiffany Floyd and Her 4-Year-Old Daughter
According to New York Post OfficeFloyd took his daughter to a Burger King in Getzville on Friday, July 26.
“I just heard, ‘Mommy, I don’t want ketchup,’ so I grabbed her bag, thinking 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 was blood on her toys, everything,” Floyd told the outlet. “So I immediately told her to spit it out. She had the fries and some of the hamburger. And then I looked at my meal, and there was blood all over my meal.”
Floyd allegedly called the location afterward and spoke to a manager named Dan. Dan allegedly informed her that a chef “had cut his hand and he was bleeding.” Floyd also alleges that the manager apologized and offered her a refund.
Furthermore, the mother spoke with her daughter’s pediatrician, who informed her that the 4-year-old would have to wait 30 days for a blood test to check for any possible illnesses.
“And then every year she has to have blood tests to see if there’s anything wrong,” she said. “If they had her tested, my daughter wouldn’t have to have blood tests.”
According to Floyd, Burger King stores do not want to reveal the identity of the employee so that blood will get on the food.

“We were deeply saddened 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 at the restaurant sustaining a finger injury, and upon becoming aware of it, immediately leaving the restaurant. We have closed the restaurant to retrain all team members and hire an outside company to complete a deep clean. We expect the restaurant to reopen on Monday and will pay team members in full for any missed shifts during this temporary closure,” the statement said.
