The risk level for ground meat can be managed. The worst risk comes...
...from meat ground in huge grinding machines in meat processing plants that mix cuts of meat from many different animals in one batch. Stores that don't grind their own hamburger and have it shipped in from another site pre-ground fall into that catagory. Also, the 3#, 5# and 10# "chubs" are something I never buy. Too dangerous, if you like your burgers on the rare side. Picture 100 steers in one 5# roll.
Ground beef made "in-store" is much safer. That is, if you trust your meat counter guys where you shop.
If I am absolutely craving a great burger, I go grab a boneless chuck roast with about 20% fat and have the butcher grind it for me. The chances of getting any nasty bugs go way down, assuming, again, that I can trust the butcher to take good care of his grinding equipment.

If you grind your own meat there is very little risk.REstaurants can even
serve rare hamburgers if they grind their own meat.

Again, just comes down to comfort level
If I am not willing to lick the surface of a piece of meat, then I am not willing to eat said meat rare after grinding. Unfortunately, in order to feel comfortable with that, I would have to butcher the animal myself. Or watch very closely while someone else does so.
I'll butcher goats and rabbits but sorry, cows are too big lol.
Not saying anyone is wrong, mind you. I agree with all that has been said actually. I'm just a little paranoid on this one lol.

Agree totally.I just happen to love rare hamburgers and became aware of the .
ability of better restaurants (that don't buy their meat ground) to not need to comply with the law to overcook (to me) hamburgers by grinding their own beef. So now I always ask if I can have it on the rare side.
