What is the minimum internal cooking temperature for Ratites (ostrich and emu)?

  1. 165 degrees for 15 seconds

  2. 155 degrees for 15 seconds

  3. 145 degrees for 3 minutes

  4. 135 degrees for 2 minutes

The correct answer is: 155 degrees for 15 seconds

Ratites, which include ostrich and emu, have a minimum internal cooking temperature requirement of 155 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds. This temperature is important to ensure that any harmful bacteria like Salmonella are destroyed, making the meat safe for consumption. Option A (165 degrees for 15 seconds) is too high for ratites, while options C (145 degrees for 3 minutes) and D (135 degrees for 2 minutes) are below the recommended minimum internal cooking temperature for ratites.
