"Just in time for the start of grilling season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has updated guidelines for safely preparing pork. The USDA recommends that pork be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
The federal agency says it is lowering the recommended safe cooking temperature for whole cuts of pork from 160 degrees to 145 degrees and adding a 3-minute rest time."
I've been hearing for years that pork is no more dangerous than beef when undercooked. They're serving it rare now in restaurants. I guess the USDA is finally catching on. Ahhh...now we can have dinner a few minutes sooner!
