Any sort of change, injury, or trauma to an infantâs umbilical cord can result in serious medical issues. If an umbilical cord become compressed, oxygen, blood flow, and nutrients can be cut off from the baby, resulting in brain damage and in severe cases, fetal death. Fortunately, umbilical cord compression can be detected easily and if treated quickly, the aforementioned medical problems may be eliminated.
The one exception is that ground pork needs to be cooked to the higher temperature of 160Â°F, so keep this in mind when making meatloaf or burgers out of ground pork. Kitchen Fact Source: Fresh Pork from Farm to Table at USDA.gov.
All whole cuts of pork should be cooked to 145 ËF, and rest for 3 minutes before eating. The safe cooking temperature for poultry is 165 ËF. If you can point out for us where it says 165 ËF is the safe temperature for pork, weâll be sure to make a correction. Thank you for catching this.
