Is food borne illness sitting
on your grill? Many people
take meat off their grill and
never even think about using a
food thermometer but using a
meat thermometer should not
be taken for granted if you want
to keep your family safe and
have a juicy, great tasting eating
experience.
Meat thermometers are
available every where and
come in different forms. From
the dial instant read meat thermometer
to a digital instant
read thermometer to a disposable
temperature indicator, they
all provide consumers with the
information to make sure food
is cooked to the proper temperature.
It is important to
research what type of thermometer
is right for you and
your family. When doing your
research don’t forget that your
local Extension office is a great
place to go for information.

The USDA has recently
announced the new temperatures
for safely cooking pork,
steak, roasts, and chops.
USDA recommends cooking
all whole cuts of meat to 145o
F as measured with a food thermometer
placed in the thickest
part of the meat, then allowing
the meat to rest for three minutes
before carving or consuming.
Ground meats including
ground beef, veal, lamb and
pork should be cooked to an
internal temperature of 160o F
and do not require a rest time.
The safe cooking temperature
for all poultry products, including
ground chicken and turkey
remains at 165o F.
These new changes will
hopefully make it easier for
consumers to remember the
internal temperatures for the
different meats they are cooking;
145o F for whole meats,
160o F for ground meat, and
165o F for all poultry.
Rest time is the other change

Public Works Administrator
Mike Craig met with the Board
to discuss the road records of
Harvest Road showing that it
ends at the half mile line
between Section 9 and 16 of
Marysville Township.
Blue River Rail Trail representatives
Mike Stech and
Steve O’Neal met with the
Board to discuss the concerns
with the talk of the landowner
putting a gate across the property
line on Harvest Road east
of the trail which is on the rail
bed.

as a road then it is a road.

Road situation.

Robert S. Connell moved,
seconded by Thomas K. Holle
to approve the following pur-
that is happening for meat. A
“rest time” is the amount of
time the product remains at the
final temperature after it has
been removed from a grill,
oven, or other heat source.
During the three minutes after
meat is removed from the heat
source, its temperature remains
constant or continues to rise
which destroys pathogens. The
USDA’s food Safety and
Inspection Services has determined
that it is just as safe to
cook cuts of pork to 145o F
with a three minute rest time as
it is to cook them to 160o F the
previously recommended temperature
with no rest time.
The new cooking recommendations
clarify long held
perceptions about cooking
pork. Historically, consumers
have viewed the color pink in
pork to be a sign of undercooked
meat. If raw pork is
cooked to 145o F and allowed
to rest for three minutes, it may
still be pink but is safe to eat.
The pink color can be due to

Charles R. Loiseau moved,
seconded by Robert S. Connell
the cooking method, added
ingredients, or other factors.
As always, cured pork will
remain pink after cooking.
The color of meat is not a
reliable indicator of whether or
not meat is cook to its proper
temperature. Only by using a
food thermometer can consumers
determine if meat has
reached a sufficient temperature
to destroy pathogens of
public health concern. Any
cooked, uncured red meats,
including pork, can be pink,
even when the meat has
reached a safe internal temperature.
So, when asking yourself the
question “is it done yet?” think
to yourself where is my food
thermometer. Remember, it is
only safe to bite when the temperature
is right. For more
information about food safety
and food safety equipment contact
the Marshall County
Extension Office.
