Tag: Lamb preparation

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), it is safe to eat rare lamb, but only for whole-muscle cuts that have been cooked to a specific minimum internal temperature. This practice is safe because the bacteria responsible for most foodborne illnesses are found on the surface of the meat, not inside the muscle tissue.

According to nutrition data, a cooked lamb shoulder chop with both lean meat and fat typically contains around 274 calories per 100-gram serving. However, the total number of calories can fluctuate significantly depending on the cut's size, the amount of fat consumed, and the cooking method used.
