Golden Corral Customer Finds Raw Chicken
A TikTok user named Daniel claimed he found what appeared to be raw chicken at Golden Corral, with blood-like liquid oozing from a fried chicken drumstick. The video sparked online discussion about food safety. Experts noted that red liquid in chicken is often myoglobin, not blood, but undercooked chicken can still be unsafe. Daniel switched to tacos after the incident, and the video received over 500 comments. The USDA advises cooking chicken to 165°F to avoid illness.
People Are Horrified
The video quickly attracted attention, with viewers debating what exactly they were seeing inside the chicken. One person couldn’t believe Daniel went back for another plate after the initial mishap. “Third plate after seeing the blood is crazy,” they commented. Honestly, it’s hard to blame the internet for having questions. The TikTok has amassed nearly 500 comments, turning Daniel’s Golden Corral meal into a full-blown food-safety discussion.
Is That Actually Blood In Chicken?
Here’s where things get a little less dramatic. Red or pink liquid coming from cooked chicken isn’t necessarily blood. Chicken contains myoglobin, a protein that can give meat and its juices a pink or reddish appearance. So it’s not exactly crazy to see it in your poultry. However, the color alone isn’t a reliable way to determine whether chicken is safe to eat. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends cooking poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, measured with a food thermometer. If chicken appears raw or is undercooked, the safest move is to stop eating it.
What Do You Do If You Eat Undercooked Chicken?
If you discover that chicken at a restaurant or buffet isn’t properly cooked, don’t keep eating it. Instead, stop eating the food and notify a manager or employee immediately. Taking a photo can also help document what happened. If you later develop symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, or fever, contact a health care professional. Severe symptoms or signs of dehydration warrant prompt medical attention. As for Daniel, his third plate tells the story pretty clearly. No chicken. Just tacos. And perhaps a little less confidence in the Golden Corral buffet.
