Susan Mosher said she was eating at the restaurant on the Kingwood neighborhood with her husband when she discovered the blood on her fries, which she had already partially eaten, KPRC-TV, Houston, reported Friday.

Mosher said she gave the plate to her waitress, who brought it back to the kitchen.

"She comes back and tells me, 'Yes, the guy did cut himself when he was making the sandwich, but he has a Band-Aid on it now, so, he's good.' I'm like, 'Really?'" Mosher said.

She said she contacted the restaurant's manager and corporate office to ask for the cook to be given a blood test, but she instead received only an apology and a $100 gift card.

Cracker Barrel released a statement saying it could not legally force the cook to submit to a blood test but the company would reimburse Mosher for any testing she had performed on herself.

"Cracker Barrel was very concerned about this incident and regrets the distress it has caused," the statement read. "Please know that we have systems and processes in place to ensure that all quality standards are met."

Kathy Barton of the City of Houston Health Department said the city is not investigating the matter because there is no evidence the restaurant failed to dispose of all contaminated food once the problem was discovered.
