What is the minimum internal cooking temperature for cheese-stuffed pasta shells that contain no meat?
a.145°F for 15 seconds, the requirement covering seafood and intact (whole-muscle) cuts of pork, beef, or lamb
b.165°F for <1 second (instantaneous), because stuffed pasta must reach the same temperature as stuffing and stuffed foods
c.135°F without a hold time, the requirement for fruits and vegetables cooked to go into hot holding
d.155°F for 17 seconds, the same standard that applies to ground beef, ground lamb, sausage, and ground seafood
解析
Stuffed foods and stuffing, including stuffed pasta, must be cooked to 165°F for <1 second (instantaneous). The dense interior heats slowly and can shelter pathogens, so the highest cooking standard applies regardless of whether the filling contains meat. The 145°F, 155°F, and 135°F lines of the chart are real standards for other foods — whole cuts and seafood, ground meats, and plant foods for hot holding — but none of them cover a stuffed item.
