If an umbilical cord become compressed, oxygen, blood flow, and nutrients can be cut off from the baby, resulting in brain damage and in severe cases, fetal death.

The one exception is that ground pork needs to be cooked to the higher temperature of 160Â°F, so keep this in mind when making meatloaf or burgers out of ground pork. Kitchen Fact Source: Fresh Pork from Farm to Table at USDA.gov.
A safe temp for pork is 160 degrees. The roast should be pulled from the oven when it reaches 150 to 155 degrees because you have to account for carry over cooking. The roast will continue to cook when you let it sit for ten minutes outside of the oven. The meat might be a little pink but it is completely safe to eat.
