2-year-old’s nappy

My two-year-old has had two dodgy nappies today with these red flecks in them (picture attached.) Does this look like blood or more likely to be food? I managed to pick a fleck out using toilet paper. He’s otherwise fine in myself…still playing away happily, climbing things and bruising himself up, lol!

I'm sure my DS used to have nappies like that and the red was food. Watermelon? Red peppers?

Come to think of it…he ate strawberries yesterday so that could explain it.
