Meat temperature

---

• According to the National Pork Board and the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the minimum safe pork temperature for cooking pork chops, pork roasts, and tenderloin is an internal temperature of 145°F followed by a three minute rest.

FYI: Ground pork and any pork cut that has been enhanced or injected with flavor should ALWAYS be cooked to 160°F because it is not a pure cut of meat anymore.
