If you eat under cooked hamburger what are the changes you will get food poision? (in Percent).?!


Question: I eat my burgers med rare and have never had food poisoning. I buy quality hamburger(ground sirloin) and it would be the same as eating a steak med rare. Did you eat it at a restaurant? If it wasn't cooked to your specs you should have sent it back. The chances are low that you will get sick from eating a little pink, YOu have probably eaten much worse that you didn't even know about.

Less than 3%
more like .05% not from bugs
but your digestive tract will just give you diareha

was the hamburger totally raw? or was it just under cooked like medium rare- medium well? if its totally raw your chances of getting food poisoning are not high but not low the worst thing you will get is maybe worms but u can kill them if u drink some vinegar after you eat it. if you just ate an undercooked burger than your chances are even lower because just if the burger is a lil ' pink doesnt mean its raw . look at the meat temp cooking chart what they call medium rare all the bacteria has m=been killed if there was anyto begin with it just takes a higher temp for the meat to "turn brown"
