at least 100 degrees F
about 125 degrees F
141 degrees F
145 degrees F

Answer 1

Answer:

145 degrees F

Explanation:

To prevent contamination and food borne infections, raw beef, pork, lamb and veal steaks, chops and roasts must be cooked to a minimum of 145°F internal temperature before being removed from heat source.

This minimum temperature reading will annihilate traces of food borne pathogens in the food and make it safe for consumption.
