Which of the following is the minimum core temperature for a cooking meat / poultry? 65^circ mathrm(C) for 2 minutes 70^circ mathrm(C) for 2 minutes 80^circ mathrm(C) for 2 minutes 90^circ mathrm(C) for 2 minutes

Answer 1

The question is asking about the minimum core temperature that meat/poultry must reach while cooking. Health and food safety standards stipulate certain temperature thresholds to ensure harmful bacteria are effectively killed. Cooking food to the right temperature is crucial to avoid potential foodborne illnesses. Each choice represents a different potential core temperature for cooking meat/poultry, therefore the goal here is to identify the lowest core temperature from these options that guarantees food safety.
