The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, roasts, and tenderloin to an internal temperature between 145° F.(medium rare) and 160° F. (medium), followed by a 3 minute rest. Since large cuts increase approximately 10° F. while resting, remove them from the heat at 150° F. followed by a 10 minute rest.

Raw meat should be stored at 40°F or less.
