What happens if you eat rare pork?

Eating raw or undercooked pork is not a good idea. The meat can harbor parasites, like roundworms or tapeworms. These can cause foodborne illnesses like trichinosis or taeniasis. While rare, trichinosis can lead to serious complications that are sometimes fatal.

Does freezing pork kill parasites?

Freeze pork. Freezing pork that is less than six inches thick for three weeks will kill parasites. However, trichinella parasites in wild-animal meat are not killed by freezing, even over a long period.

Does freezing pork kill tapeworm?

Curing (salting), drying, smoking, or microwaving meat alone does not consistently kill infective worms; homemade jerky and sausage were the cause of many cases of trichinellosis reported to CDC in recent years. Freeze pork less than 6 inches thick for 20 days at 5°F (-15°C) to kill any worms.

Does freezing kill tapeworms?

Freeze meat for as long as seven to 10 days and fish for at least 24 hours in a freezer with a temperature of -31 F (-35 C) to kill tapeworm eggs and larvae. Avoid eating raw or undercooked pork, beef and fish.

How do you kill parasites in raw meat?

You can take steps to kill tapeworms if you properly freeze and cook your food. Cooking meats properly and freezing them at the proper temperatures can help kill any tapeworms they might be harboring. Meat should be cooked until the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
