The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends cooking ground beef, veal, pork, or lamb to an internal temperature of 160☏ and steaks, roasts, or chops to an internal temperature of 145☏.
Chowing down on a medium-rare steak or a blood sausage link usually won’t have any ill effects, though food poisoning can still be a concern. Blood would also be considered raw and potentially carry similar foodborne illness and food poisoning risks.ĭrinking animal blood may be generally safe in very small quantities. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) lists foods associated with foodborne illness such as chicken, beef, turkey, and raw eggs. Humans, who found their meat tasted better cooked, didn’t develop as many digestive protections.
Drinking raw blood is not a safe practice.Ĭarnivorous animals eat raw meat and blood, so why can’t humans? Animals in the wild have anatomy that developed over time to counter the bacteria and foodborne pathogens that can otherwise cause harm.
