The school staffer from Palm Elementary School in Lorain, Ohio, is then seen moving over the girl's table and giving her the food back and "forcing" her to eat it, according to a lawyer acting for her family.
According to mum LaTosha Williams, the youngster fell ill after eating it, which ended up in LaTosha losing her job because she had to take care of her daughter at home.
Lorain City School released the damning footage on Wednesday after LaTosha complained to the school.
She said her daughter had "changed" and was scared to go back to school.
She told : "It literally flipped my whole family upside down.
"She has changed at home. She doesn't act the same. She doesn't even want to go to school."

The school district said the headteacher received LaTosha's complaint but failed to act on it.
Reports now claim the headteacher and staff member involved have both been sacked.
Jim Nelson, a Cleveland19 News anchor, said in a tweet: "Lorain Schools have released surveillance video showing a lunch monitor pull unwanted food out of a garbage can, wipe it off, and force the student who threw it away to eat it.
"She and the principal were fired."
Jeff Graham, superintendent of Lorain City Schools, said: "Any infringement upon the dignity and respect of our students will not be tolerated.
"Our students deserve staff members who are able to make good decisions in all situations — and any staff member who is unable to deliver on that promise is unwelcome in our schools."
