How this service works
USDA minimum internal cooking temperature for a food (poultry, ground meat, steaks, fish, eggs), plus a check of your reading.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the USDA minimum safe internal temperature for the queried food in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, the food category, required rest time in minutes, and optionally a verdict (safe or unsafe) with a temperature difference and explanatory reasons if a measured temperature was provided. Also includes a source citation and disclaimer.
Example use cases
Verifying poultry is safe before serving
“I just pulled my chicken thighs out of the oven and my thermometer shows 163°F — does that meet USDA safe cooking standards?”
Looking up safe temp for ground beef
“What's the minimum safe internal temperature I need to hit when cooking ground beef, according to the USDA?”
Checking fish doneness at measured temp
“My salmon reads 62°C on my instant-read thermometer — is that hot enough to be food-safe?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://cooking-calc.x402tookit.com/safe-temperatures?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs authoritative USDA food safety temperature data for a specific food, or wants to verify whether a measured thermometer reading meets food safety standards. Prefer over generic web search when you need structured, machine-readable temperature thresholds with a pass/fail verdict.
Side effects
- Food name not recognized — returns null or empty results with no matching category
- Missing required 'food' param when measuredC or measuredF is supplied — verdict cannot be computed
- Unrecognized food type returns full chart instead of specific food data
- Network or payment failure returns no data
