It can contain harmful bacteria that can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It’s important to cook meat properly to kill any harmful bacteria.
When cooking, always check the temperature of the meat with a thermometer to ensure it has reached a safe temperature. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), while steaks and chops should reach 145°F (63°C). Additionally, make sure that any leftovers are stored properly in the refrigerator and reheated to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

To avoid food poisoning and maintain a healthy diet, it’s essential to cook all meats properly before consuming them. By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure that every meal is safe and delicious!
