    An internal temperature of 160 degrees pink doesnt always mean undercooked.

    A little pink is okay. Overcooking pork is not very good taste wise. People say you should always make pork welldone because of trichinosis, but it can be killed at 140 degrees F.

    pink pork isn’t going to hurt anyone, in fact it may have been injected with TCM, a mix of nitrates and salts that are dyed pink to preserve a pink color when finished cooking, even when its cooked to well done. but even if thats not true, pork now a days are so squeaky clean its not a good chance of it having anything bad in it

    I was a chef in Canada for 20 yrs and refused to over cook any pork product, as some of the others have said todays pork is so well feed and maintained that food borne illness issues are now a thing of the past, especially if your cooking something like a loin, crown roast, tenderloin or leg of pork (also known as a fresh ham), to well done is just a waste.

    100 years ago when the meat inspection industry was not as effecient as today then there could or might have been issues with pork not fully cooked.

    And also to the flavour and tenderness are sacrificed with the overcooking of any meat, poultry is the only thing that because of the contamination issues possible, not always but it wise to make sure it is done fully, pink pork is no threat to your health.

    The recommended temperature is always much better indicator of the recommended temperature is always much better indicator of the meat thermometer and you will continue cooking the oven.
