AI tells a user that lamb burgers are safe to eat when cooked to 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest time, ignoring the risk of E. coli O157:H7 and Campylobacter from ground lamb
ID: food-safety/ai-advises-eating-undercooked-lamb-burgers
Root Cause
Ground lamb, like other ground meats, can harbor pathogens throughout the product; the USDA recommends cooking ground lamb to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) with no rest time, not 145°F, because grinding distributes surface bacteria into the interior.
generic中文
碎羊肉与其他碎肉一样，病原体可能遍布整个产品；美国农业部建议碎羊肉的内部温度达到160°F（71°C）且无需静置时间，而不是145°F，因为研磨过程会将表面细菌带入内部。

中文步骤
将碎羊肉汉堡烹饪至内部温度160°F（71°C），使用食品温度计插入最厚部分测量。碎肉无需静置时间。
如果使用低温慢煮，将碎羊肉饼在160°F下烹饪至少1小时以确保杀菌，然后快速煎烤上色。
Dead Ends
Common approaches that don't work:
-
60% fail
User thinks lamb is 'cleaner' than beef and applies whole-cut lamb guidelines (145°F) to ground lamb, ignoring pathogen redistribution.
-
50% fail
User assumes a 3-minute rest time compensates for undercooking, but rest time is only validated for whole cuts, not ground meat.
-
70% fail
User relies on color change (brown means done) instead of temperature, but color is not a reliable indicator of pathogen kill in ground lamb.
