This IS a safely cooked hamburger, cooked to an internal temperature of 160 °F, even though it's pink inside.
This a conservative view.
I like mine about 145 °F.
How do you like your steak cooked?
I like mine, charred rare.

You’re very bad. I like it!

Medium rare to medium on the steak. But again, the ecoli issue isn’t as much of a concern there because the bacteria would be laying on the surface and unless one is eating steak tartare the bacteria would be killed with any normal amount of searing.
Not so with the ground beef. You are correct about the 160 degrees...I’d have said something around there possibly 165. Mine usually aren’t pink at that level..
“They use human waste for fertilizer”
They must not be using much human waste, for there are still a lot of Democrats in Congress...
Sheryl Crowe alert!
Only one sheet per person!
they need to cook the fries a little longer. They are one of the few that use REAL potatoes for french fries.
Isn’t it wonderful that we still have choices? >:-}
Yuck. Who wants tough, gray overcooked meat?
Right you are! Tough as shoe leather!
It is insane that we buy food from 3rd world countries.....
I think so too. I am very careful where I eat out now too.
That wasn’t very nice.
but who likes well done burgers...not I.
though I prefer to know where the meat comes from...whenever possible I grind it myself.
Sounds like weapons of mass destruction to me. Let's invade them.
For that matter, never heard of a product problem with anything from Schwans....
“Doesn’t well-cooking the meat kill off the ecoli? I remember reading somewhere once that only in cases where the tainted meat was cooked rare was it dangerous.”
Yes.
The food contamination from the CA spinach farms, last year, was caused by the fact that they were organic. If farms don’t use chemical fertilizer, what do you think they use? bovine excrement, of course. I just don’t buy anything organic.
