A Little Pink Is OK: USDA Revises Cooking Temperature For Pork: The Two-Way The U.S. Department of Agriculture lowered the recommended cooking temperature of pork to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. That, it says, may leave some pork looking pink, but the meat is still safe to eat.

What color should the inside of a bratwurst be?

It's the perfect time to take them off the grill and to let them rest for 5 minutes before eating them. Your German-style sausages should look juicy, brown, and have dark grilled marks on the outside. If you are using pre-cooked or earlier poached brats, then 5-7 minutes on the grill will be enough.

How do you tell if a brat is undercooked?

If you feel like it, check out the internal temperature by sticking a meat thermometer into the open end of the bratwurst. It should read between 145 – 160 degrees, which is perfect.
