The Center for Food Integrity has created a new widget that can be used on any website to help people get answers to food questions. You can see how one version of the widget looks at the bottom of this post. I just submitted one about roast beef and got this immediate answer. I’ll update this post when I get the final answer.
Thank you for submitting a question to Best Food Facts! Rest assured, we’re working on finding the right expert to answer your question. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Post Update: The answer to my question.
Good morning, Chuck,
Thanks for the inquiry on Best Food Facts! When cooking roast beef, be sure to heat to an internal temperature of 145°F (don’t forget to use your meat thermometer). And since grilling season is just around the corner (we hope!), check out these grilling tips as well: How do I Grill It Safely?
If there are additional questions, please let us know – we’re happy to help!
Best regards and healthy eating,
Roxi
