explanation

Ground, chopped, or minced seafood should be cooked to 155°F for 17 seconds. Normally, seafood only needs to be cooked to 145°F for 15 seconds, but if it's chopped, minced, or ground, it requires a higher temperature. Other foods that should be cooked to 155°F (68°C) for 17 seconds:
- Ground meat—including beef, pork, and other meat
- Injected meat—including brined ham and flavor-injected roasts
- Mechanically tenderized meat
- Ground meat from game animals commercially raised and inspected
- Ratites (mostly flightless birds with flat breastbones)—including ostrich and emu
- Ground seafood—including chopped or minced seafood
- Shell eggs that will be hot held for service
