Undercooked hamburger food poisoning?

Question

I just ate a hamburger that was pink in the middle will I get food poisoning from this?

Answer 1

Not if the raw meat was fresh and uncontaminated.

At one stage, some years back when there was a lot of contaminated beef due to a cattle disease outbreak,it was illegal to order any cooked hamburgers that were not cooked to well done.

I think you are safe and will survive,lol.

Answer 2

i would get sick

but i know my husband loves his meat as rare as it gets.

to answer your question, NO

you wont get sick

Answer 3

Just because its pink doesnt mean you will get  food poisoning. The poisoning  part usually comes from the handling of the meat. If you had food poisoning from that  hamburger you would be in the bathroom right now..... so  don't worry...food poisoning onset from fish and meat usually is within the first 2 hours. i got  fish poisoning and the onset was within the first 20 min of ingestion i was still eating at  the restaurant.....and it was horrrible.....

Answer 4

that depends on whether or not the meat was contamanated. no way of knowing until you get sick. next time don't eat something then ask will I get sick

Answer 5

yes, stick close to the bathroom

Answer 6

Probably not, if you eat red meat regularly.  You just got it medium-medium rare.

Answer 7

It depends how sensitive your stomach is.....also it depends how well the hamburger meat was manufactured and sealed..

Answer 8

Hi I am getting food poisoning thinking about it. I love my meat burnt. Anyway you probably will not get sick at all as hamburger meat is basically fine even if it is eaten raw but it might give you halitosis.

Answer 9

I had red meat a night or two ago and wondered if it might make me sick also.  But everything is fine.  I like my meat a little pink.  So I think you will be fine.

I think food poisoning occurs more likely from meat that has been left out too long before cooking allowing harmful bacteria to contaminate it.  But fresh meat cooked rare is okay I'm pretty sure.  A lot of restaurants would be in big trouble if pink meat made people sick.

Good luck!

Answer 10

Maybe - depends on how your system handles it.  Eating "undercooked" meat and fish can cause problems for people, though.

Answer 11

NO

Answer 12

Maybe!

Anything is possible!

Why would you eat first and ask later?

Answer 13

uh...no, just raw!

Answer 14

You could, its according to what the temp met in the meat.Hamburger is the most dangerous type of beef to eat, most places will not serve medium rare hamburger anymore . Good luck.
