It needs to be cooked thoroughly because of the fact that it's been minced (processed). The processing, especially if performed unrefrigerated, allows for both the introduction of contaminants such as bacteria, as well as the propagation of any bacteria present. Processing also allows any bacteria on the surface of the food to be transferred to the interior where it is more difficult to destroy with cooking heat. Salmonella, E-coli, etc., are present in most foods in relatively harmless numbers but given the opportunity provided by processing (presence of more heat, air, mechanical movement), can spread and multiply rapidly to harmful levels.
