Time & Temperature (NYC)第 45 / 240 题
Under NYC food safety instruction, what is the minimum internal cooking temperature for ground meat such as hamburger?
a.145°F
b.165°F
c.158°F
d.140°F
解析
NYC teaches a minimum internal temperature of 158°F for ground meat like ground beef, pork, and other chopped meats, which is higher than the generic FDA figure. Grinding spreads surface pathogens like E. coli O157:H7 throughout the meat, so the whole mass must reach a safe temperature. 145°F applies to whole cuts and 165°F to poultry.
