Why does NYC require poultry to be cooked to a higher temperature (165°F) than a whole beef steak (145°F)?

a.Beef never carries any bacteria
b.The color of poultry requires more heat
c.Poultry is denser than beef
d.Poultry more commonly carries pathogens like Salmonella and Campylobacter throughout, requiring a higher temperature to ensure safety

Giải thích

Poultry frequently carries Salmonella and Campylobacter and needs 165°F to ensure destruction, while an intact beef steak has pathogens mainly on the surface, which searing addresses, so 145°F suffices. Ground meats fall in between (158°F in NYC) because grinding spreads surface bacteria throughout. Density and color are not the safety basis.
