I am not an expert on food safety, but I believe the stricter standard for beef is because people often eat it rare. The bacteria in the shrimp is not a big deal if you cook it. There are many meats that you NEVER eat undercooked (chicken and pork among others); why not shrimp?
- greenyoda 14y agoAs far as I know, chicken contaminated with salmonella wouldn't pass USDA inspection either. While chicken should never be eaten when it's undercooked, it's quite easy for that to accidentally happen (the outside of a piece of chicken may be cooked completely, but the inside is undercooked). Not to mention that raw chicken that has bacteria on it can contaminate preparation surfaces in your kitchen, spreading the bacteria around.
