I could see going lower, but the USDA probably has more information than I do. Paul Fehribach, executive chef/owner of Big Jones: "It's definitely a good thing and that temperature is about right.I think it is good that they finally realized that trichinosis has not been around since the 50's and that you don't need to cook pork till it is done, is leaps an bounds heading in the right direction. Note: Even if the pork has a touch of pink, it’s still considered safe to eat if it has reached 145☏. In 2011 the USDA reduced the recommended internal temperature from 160☏ to 145☏. Just like ground beef needs to be cooked to 155 but we still serve it 120 (mr). According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), pork tenderloin should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 145☏. ![]() Patrick Quakenbush, executive chef of Zed451: "It is about time! I don't think they need to make it any lower.I think it could go down to at least to 140." However, it’s crucial that you don’t leave the meat on the grill until it reaches 200 degrees because it will continue cooking after you pull it. Trichinosis programs have been in place for some time with great success nearly eliminating the disease in domestic pigs. Best Internal Temp for Pulled Pork The best pulled pork internal temp is 185° F, but you can go as far as 200☏ if you have the patience to wait and prefer your meat to be a little more tender. I think the younger generation had no idea of why Pork was to be cooked to a certain temperature in the past. Jason McLeod, formerly of RIA, now of Box Tree in San Diego: "Most chefs have been cooking to a lower temperature for many years. Cook all organ and variety meats (such as heart, kidney, liver, tongue, and chitterlings) to 160 ☏ (71.1 ☌).I prefer 130 to 140 (degrees) for loin cuts of pork." Bernie Laskowski, executive chef of Park Grill: "Good quality pork can and should be handled like beef.I'd trust that way more than a commodity hamburger." Follow the guidelines below for how to cook raw meat, poultry, seafood, and other foods to a safe minimum internal temperature. If you are eating pork from a great farm, you can trust it was handled correctly and disease free. ![]() ![]()
