I accidentally made a burger and nearly finished it before realizing it was undercooked in the middle—like, really pink! I’ve never experienced this before. What should I do?

First off, try not to panic! Eating a slightly undercooked burger can be concerning, but it doesn’t always lead to serious health issues. Here are a few steps you can take:
-
Monitor Your Symptoms: Pay attention to how you’re feeling over the next few hours. Look out for symptoms like nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, or fever.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system.
-
Consult a Professional: If you start feeling unwell or have any serious concerns, don’t hesitate to contact a healthcare provider for advice.
-
Food Safety Awareness: Moving forward, make sure to cook ground beef to the recommended internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure it’s safe to eat.
Remember, many people have had a similar experience and been fine, but it’s always best to stay cautious.
