Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure

General disclaimer — food safety, not medical advice

Content on TempChart is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It republishes guidance published by official food-safety agencies (USDA FSIS, FoodSafety.gov, UK FSA, Health Canada) but it is not medical advice and not a substitute for your health authority's guidance. People who are pregnant, immunocompromised, or cooking for young children, older adults or unwell people should follow the stricter advice published for their situation and consult a qualified professional with any medical concern.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links (for example, instant-read thermometer recommendations), marked with rel="sponsored nofollow" and labeled on the page. If you click one and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps fund the site. Affiliate relationships have zero influence over our temperature data — every number is transcribed from an official agency source and test-checked.

Advertising disclosure

This site displays third-party advertisements (e.g. Google AdSense). Ad content is not endorsed by us and ads are labeled or visually separated from editorial content.

Accuracy and currency

Agency guidance changes over time (USDA lowered whole-cut pork from 160 °F (71.1 °C) to 145 °F (62.8 °C) in May 2011, for example). Each page states its verification date (currently 2026-11-16) and links the primary agency sources, which remain authoritative. If any number here disagrees with its linked agency page, the agency page wins — please tell us so we can correct it.
