Can you eat baked lamb chops that still have pink in the middle?

It is generally considered safe to eat properly cooked lamb chops that still have some pink in the middle, as long as the internal temperature of the chop has reached 145°F (63°C) as measured by a food thermometer. This temperature is high enough to kill harmful bacteria that may be present, while still leaving the meat tender and juicy. However, if the internal temperature falls below this threshold, the meat should not be consumed as this can lead to foodborne illness. To ensure safety, it is always recommended to use a meat thermometer when cooking lamb chops to avoid any potential risks.
