Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grilling hamburgers to medium rare may leave harmful bacteria in the meat, leading to foodborne illness. It is better to cook hamburgers to an internal temperature of 160°F to kill any harmful bacteria. The other choices are all best practices for preventing foodborne illness. Transporting and keeping food below 40°F prevents bacteria from growing. Not letting perishable food sit out for more than 2 hours keeps it from reaching the danger zone where bacteria can multiply. Washing hands thoroughly and frequently helps reduce the spread of harmful bacteria.
