(1) 145°F (63°C) or greater for 15 seconds for:

(i) raw shell eggs that are broken and prepared in response to a consumer's order and for immediate service unless an individual consumer requests preparation of a shell egg or eggs or a food containing a shell egg or eggs in a style such as raw, poached or fried, which must be prepared at a temperature of 145°F (63°C) or less in order to comply with such request; and

(ii) except as specified under paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subdivision and subdivision (b) of this section, fish, meat and pork including game animals commercially raised for food as specified under section 271-2.2(g)(1) of this Subpart and game animals under a voluntary inspection program as specified under section 271-2-2(g)(2) of this Subpart.

(2) 155°F (68°C) or greater for 15 seconds or the temperature spedified in the following chart that corresponds to the holding time for ratites, and injected meats; the following if they are comminuted: fish, meat, game animals commercially raised for food as specified under section 271-2.2(g)(1) of this Subpart, and game animals under a voluntary inspection program as specified under section 271-2.2(g)(2) of this Subpart and raw eggs that are not prepared as specified under subparagraph (1)(i) of this subdivision:

Minumum

¹ Relative humidity greater than 90 percent for at least one hour as measured in the cooking chamber or exit of the oven; or in a moisture-impermeable bag that provides 100 percent humidity.

; and

(2) as specified in the following chart, to heat all parts of the food to a temperature and for the holding time that corresponds to that temperature:

139 (60)	15	149 (65)	91 sec

¹ Holding time may include postoven heat rise.

(c) Subdivisions (a) and (b) of this section do not apply if the food is a raw animal food such as raw egg; raw fish; raw-marinated fish; raw molluscan shellfish; steak tartare; or a partially cooked food such as lightly cooked fish, rare meat and soft cooked eggs that are served or offered for sale in a ready-to-eat form, and the consumer is informed that to ensure its safety, the food should be cooked as specified under section 271-2.25 of this Subpart.

(2) the steak is cooked on both the top and bottom to a surface temperature of 145°F (63°C) or above and a cooked color change is achieved on all external surfaces.

(e) Raw animal foods cooked in a microwave oven shall be:

(1) rotated or stirred throughout or midway during cooking to compensate for uneven distribution of heat;

(2) covered to retain surface moisture;

(3) heated to a temperature of not less than 165°F (74°C) in all parts of the food; and
