Ground Beef Safety and Handling
Ground beef should be purchased before or on the "sell by" date or "last date of sale" and then used within 2 days of purchasing. Ground beef should be defrosted in the refrigerator and never at room temperature. Ground beef should be cooked as soon as possible after it is defrosted.
Ground beef patties should not be cooked unless they have thawed fully. A frozen or partially frozen patty will not cook evenly and the center will not cook to the proper temperature even though the outside may be completely cooked. Ground beef must be cooked to an interior temperature of at least 160°F.
It is recommended that ground beef dishes such as meatloaf be checked for doneness with a meat thermometer. This is especially important when the meat has been blended with dark sauces that can mask the color of the meat, making it difficult to determine if any pink color remains, which would indicate that the meat is not fully cooked.
