Undercooked hamburger, a health hazard<\/h3>

The ground beef originally used in hamburgers was largely consumed raw. Today, it has been shown that the consumption of cooked minced meat at medium rare can pose serious health risks. This is due to the presence of bacteria such as E. coli or Salmonella on the surface of the meat, resulting from handling in farms and factories.\n\nUnlike a traditional cut, such as a steak, where these bacteria would die upon contact with the griddle because they cannot withstand temperatures above 80\u00baC, when mincing the meat there is a possibility that these bacteria will penetrate the interior. In this case, there is a risk that they may not die completely during cooking. Therefore, it is recommended to consume this type of meat well cooked to avoid possible health problems.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Who was responsible for the massification of hamburgers?<\/h3>

Contrary to popular belief, neither McDonald's nor Burger King holds the title of being the number one fast food hamburger restaurant chain.

Hamburgers and World War II<\/h3>

In World War II, the U.S. Government tried to rename this food as \"Liberty Sandwich\" to avoid any German connotations, since Germany was then the enemy. However, this name failed to gain acceptance.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
