Destruction of the pathogens that may be present in raw ground beef, particularly E. coli, requires a cooking procedure that heats the beef to an internal temperature of 160Â°F (20). Use of a food thermometer is the only way to determine that the internal temperature of ground beef patties has reached 160Â°F (13, 19).(Unfortunately, only 13% of consumers always or often use a thermometer when cooking or grilling hamburgers (9).).rior to 1997, consumers were encouraged to cook ground beef until âbrownâ in the middle to assure a safe temperature had been reached (11). However, research conducted in the 1990s determined that cooked ground beef color. does not correlate to safe endpoint temperature (2, 6, 7, 11).
