    Ground Beef Safety

    Recipe




    Ground beef must be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Using a digital or dial food thermometer is crucial, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says, because research results indicate that some ground meat may prematurely brown before a safe internal temperature has been reached.

    On the other hand, research findings also show that some ground meat patties cooked to 160° F or above may remain pink inside for a number of reasons; thus the colour of meat alone is not considered a reliable indicator of ground beef safety. If eating out, order your ground beef to be cooked well-done.
