A I understand it, from a food safety perspective:

  • bacteria start to get killed off at ~75C and at 100C are dead
  • chicken, turkey, pork etc needs cooking so the juices run clear - not pink
  • bacteria inhabit only the surface of beef.  Rare steaks are fine so long as the outside is fully cooked (seared)
  • burgers etc need to be cooked fully as the process of mincing means any bacteria on the outside of the meat will be dispersed.

We are all at liberty to eat what we like and accept the consequences.


When travelling, if locals are eating and apparently enjoying a particular food, I will give it a go, however unappetising it may seem to my Brit born and bred sensitivities!
