10. Dangers of undercooking

Some cooking mistakes have consequences beyond unhealthy foods. Undercooked poultry or eggs can lead to salmonella poisoning. Cook poultry until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. All undercooked meat can potentially cause bacterial illnesses. Sometimes undercooked pork also contains parasites, such as tapeworms, that can infect people. Most meats should reach an internal temperature of 145°F to be safe.
