Interesting fact

Color alone cannot confirm that meat is safe

Pigments, oxygen exposure, packaging, and cooking can all change meat color. A food thermometer is the reliable endpoint: poultry requires 165°F/74°C, ground meats 160°F/71°C, and whole beef, pork, veal, and lamb cuts 145°F/63°C followed by a three-minute rest.
