What meats have to be throughly cooked?

you're going fine, don't worry. days of trichiniosis (that's parasite 1 associates undercooked pork) pretty on in u.s. far domestic/commercial market. in last 5 years, there have been 11 cases of trichinosis infection in u.s. of *those* came eating improperly prepared/undercooked wild game meat came infected animals.

now, *is* true in many developing countries, , in of latin america, undercooked pork represents more of danger. that's because in countries, combination of safety inspection , less dietary control on pigs fed commonplace. eating undercooked pork in mexico can dangerous business, in particular, due type of brain parasite can present in pigs there. in u.s., commercial feed, modern farming techniques, , safety inspections have taken care of problem.

answer broader question, meats need thoroughly cooked "well done" following:

-most poultry, chicken.

-ground beef. fear commercial ground beef bacteria on surface of say, hunk of roast or steak, mixed through hamburger during grinding process.

-wild game, bear meat. bears carry trich wouldn't believe. never, ever eat undercooked bear meat!


pork, cook mine done, because i've never liked taste of "medium-well" pork. groups it's okay, though. usda recommended "safe" temp has been lowered 160 (your basic well-done) 145 (usually tiny bit pink inside). part of rationale pigs have been bred ever leaner, average pig today having 50% less fat 1 raised in 1970s. such, meat tends dry out more easily. lower temps keep juicy, say. @ rate, it's more proof shouldn't worry!

i made porkchops dinner. little bit pink in middle ate anyways.. going sick , die?!
