Looks cooked, but if it makes you queasy, just nuke it for 60 seconds.

Eat it. And when you’re done, go to the store and spend $5 on a meat thermometer.

Pork is absolutely perfect at medium. And perfectly safe to eat! This isn’t the 60s, trichinosis isn’t a concern anymore.

Id eat it.

If it cooked for atleast 15 min on grill I’d dig in like that. If it was less maybe temp would be good.

Pork should be checked by temperature. fully cooked pork can be pink.

I personally wouldnt eat it, but I am paranoid about pork…just how I was raised. But I know many folks that eat pink pork & are just fine 🤷♀️
P.S. I believe RFK, Jr’s brain worm began with undercooked pork. Just something to keep in mind

Whole muscle pork cuts should be cooked to a temperature of 140-145F. Use a thermometer to make this call, not your eye.

People have it absolutely drilled into their brains that pork cannot be pink and edible at the same time. This is incorrect.

Eat it – it’s fine. Germans have been eating raw pork for centuries, which used to be a bad idea, but since, like Canada, trichinosis has been completely eliminated from domestic pork production. We haven’s had a case of trichinosis in Canada in something like 3 decades. Even in the USA, the few cases there are each year are MOSTLY caused by bear, wild, or feral hogs. Here we’ve been eating medium pork for a a couple decades with no increase in pork related food poisoning. Hell, in Japan they eat RAW CHICKEN!! While I expect it is mostly safe, I don’t find the idea appealing at all, not like a juicy pink pork tenderloin, which is cheap because it is not a cut that stands up to being well done, and many people still fear any pork that isn’t cooked to shoe leather consistency. Sear it quickly in a very hot pan, toss in the oven for a few minutes, let rest for 5 min, slice into medallions, and enjoy!

Assuming you’re in the US there is zero need to cook pork well done. Trichinosus does not exist in the US pork supply, you can cook pork medium and have nothing to worry about. I’ve done it for 20 years.

That looks delicious to me. Pork is a lot safer today and we don’t have to hammer it like we used to. You’ll be amazed at how juicy chops can be if still a little rosey.

A little bit of pink in a pork chop is the ideal way to cook them and I will die on this hill

Hell no this isn’t a steak and pork is already known for parasites

Ain’t no way to tell by looking at it but you can safely eat a pork chop at 145 degrees and it will look pink at that temp.

Pork has come a long way. It’s now safe to eat slightly pink. …..and it taste a lot better 👍

If it’s at 145°F its safe. That looks safe, although my wife would beg to differ.
