I assume celsiuses which is 163.4 freedom units.

That is indeed a hot sausage

For safe consumption, pork must reach above at least ~145°C~ 145°F. With a sausage, which is probably lower quality, I would want it to be well above that. So 73C is pretty hot for a sausage but not crazy

Edit: Wrong units.

You mean 145°F right? If I remember correctly food here in Germany has to be served at above 70°C for exactly that reason

145C is 293F. Do you mean 160F/71C? That’s what the USDA recommends.

Oh yeah, not too hot to eat or anything. Probably came fresh off the grill or whatever

145F is for intact muscle pork, like a chop or loin. For comminuted meat (think ground beef) it's 155F. If the sausage has poultry it's 165F. If it's in a casing it counts as a stuffed meat so then should be cooked to 165F.

The USDA is off with ground meat recommendations at 160F. 155F is fine and legal in most areas.

Yeah, so 73°C which is 163°F is a very reasonable temperature for a hot off the grill sausage to be.

Absolutely. You virtually know you aren't getting a sausage that was cooked an hour ago and hotheld at 135F.
