Cooking Ground Beef

According to Health Canada, Canadian ground beef must be cooked thoroughly to a temperature of 160˚F (71˚C). Ground meat is cooked to a higher temperature than steaks and other cuts because it is handled more and the grinding process can distribute bacteria (if present) throughout the batch. Cooking to 160°F (71°C) ensures the meat is safe to consume.
