Parent Speaks Out After Child’s E. coli Infection

In 2023, Sarah Blake’s 7-year-old son was hospitalized after eating undercooked ground beef at a backyard barbecue.

Quote:
– “No one ever thinks it’ll happen to them. We had no idea the internal temp was too low.”

Sarah now campaigns for meat thermometer use in every home.
