A member asked:
I made beef burgers for dinner. only noticed my 5yr old's was slightly pink in the middle after she'd nearly finished. how worried should i be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: This sounds like a perfect burger! Even with rare or completely raw hamburger, the risk of E. coli or other serious infection is extremely low. Anyway, pink interior is cooked enough; it doesn't have to be gray/brown to eliminate risk. Don't worry about it.
