Cooking fresh pork

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, pork cooked to an internal temperature of 145° F is considered medium-rare and up to 160° F is medium doneness. 

This range of cooking will result in a flavorful, tender and juicy eating experience much like you have come to expect with steak. 

USDA

For safety, the USDA recommends cooking ground pork patties and ground pork mixtures such as meat loaf to 160 °F. 

Cook all organ and variety meats (such as heart, kidney, liver, tongue, and chitterlings) to 160 °F. 

Cook all raw pork steaks, chops, and roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source. 

For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before carving or consuming. 

For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook meat to higher temperatures.
