ELI5: Why is it acceptable for beef to be pink in the center, but not poultry or pork?
gpt
If handled properly during processing, beef and fish carry minimal risk of containing pathogens.  Damn near all of the US poultry population is infected with salmonella (especially by the time it makes it through a processing plant).  Meanwhile pork can have all kinds of nasties, considering the way pigs live and eat.

There are poultry populations in other countries that are pathogen free.  In France for instance, there are chicken breeds you can eat rare/medium rare.
