PLEASE NOTE: The USDA recommends that meats such as beef and lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145˚-170˚F. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160˚-170˚F and poultry products should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170˚F - 180˚F to be sure any harmful bacteria has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165˚F.
