a.The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food
poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by
the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.
