Which of the following must be cooked to at least 155°F?

  1. Ground meats

  2. Non ground meats and seafood

  3. Vegetables

  4. Eggs for immediate service

The correct answer is: Ground meats

Ground meats must be cooked to at least 155°F to ensure that all harmful bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella, are killed. Non ground meats and seafood do not have the same risk of bacteria and can be cooked to lower temperatures. Vegetables and eggs for immediate service also do not have the same risk and can be cooked to lower temperatures as well.
