Yep that is correct, the OUTSIDE of INTACT Meat is where the “nasties” “reside and GROW”, the INSIDE of INTACT meat is PRETTY much “clean”. Hamburger and ALL GROUND Products MUST be cooked THOUROUGHLY to a temp ABOVE 160 Deg F to KILL ALL “NASTIES”!

Or, have your ground beef ground right in front of you from cuts you select and take it home and immediately cook it. No worries there. Never gotten sick doing that and everyone raves about the flavor in my rare to medium-rare grilled hamburgers.
