    The necessary internal temp is still strongly affected by both the type of meat, as well as known infectious diseases that will grow in different foods.

    Pasteurization also has very specific context…

    So, color me not convinced!

      No you’re correct and I’m a dummy, it’s been ages since I’ve cooked meat. 130F is the lower bound for beef

      You can sous vide beef in some circumstances at 120 but this is the equivalent of cooking beef rare. If you do this you should either blanch the beef or sear the meat before cooking it

      The whole “cook meat as low as you possibly can sous vide” thing is dead anyway. All the cool kids have moved on to the new Baldwin curves that overshoot to speed up cooking immensely (outlined here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GapkjSTx3Ao )
