SAFE MINIMUM COOKING
TEMPERATURES
Use this chart and a food thermometer to ensure that
meat, poultry, seafood and other cooked foods reach
a safe minimum internal temperature.
REMEMBER: you can’t tell whether meat is safely
cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red meats
– including pork – can be pink, even when the meat has
reached a safe internal temperature.
The following information is per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
WHY THE REST TIME
IS IMPORTANT
After you remove meat from a grill, oven, or other heat
source, allow it to rest for the specified amount of time.
During the rest time, its temperature remains constant
or continues to rise, which destroys harmful germs.
