Meanwhile, in Germany, you can get raw pork with raw onions on a bread roll at just about every other bakery.

When I searched for the safe temperature for pork (in German), I found this as the first link (Kagi search engine)

> Ideally, pork should taste pink, with a core temperature between 58 and 59 degrees Celsius. You can determine the exact temperature using a meat thermometer. Is that not a health concern? Not anymore, as nutrition expert Dagmar von Cramm confirms: > “Trichinae inspection in Germany is so strict — even for wild boars — that there is no longer any danger.”

I was just thinking that EU sources might be a good place to look for this sort of thing, given that we never really know what basic public health facts will be deemed political in the US on any given day. But, this reveals a bit of a problem—of course, you guys have food safety standards, so advice they is safe over there might not be applicable in the US.

		Doesn't even have to be "better", just "different". The classic one is whether you should refrigerate eggs, which has diametrically opposite answers. But anything that actually matters could be politicized at any time. I remember the John Gummer Burger Incident: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/369625.stm , in the controversy over whether prion diseases in beef (BSE) were a problem.

It’s just the ChatGPT translation, and it’s a literal one. That said, I’ve never heard that phrase in German either.

		The literal translation is wrong in that context, it should have been translated to “medium”.
