You need to heat the burger much higher. Disease issues are largely based on surface area. Unless it’s rancid, with a steak you only need to get a thin layer above temp before it’s safe disease wise. A burger is ground meat. It is nearly 100 percent surface area. Every particle of it has been exposed to the environment while being ground. The entire thing needs to be raised to temperature.
