I don't have any links. But I believe you don't want to eat chicken that is
still pink. Not sure about the livers. I know it is okay to eat beef that
is slightly pink but it is not advised to eat it rare even though many
people do. Or even raw. I think slightly pink pork would be fine but I am
no expert on this. The meat will continue to cook a little when you take it
off the heat though.
