The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh
beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to
only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms
may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen
Guide, USDA Rev. June 1958.)
The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is
145°F/63°C for medium rare fresh beef.
