, the post had nearly 400 comments from people questioning if the burger was safe to eat.
Superintendent Luke Lansberry says cafeteria workers are required to cook burgers to at least 155 degrees but were cooking burgers to 170 degrees. He says the burger depicted is the only one of 300 served that drew a complaint and wishes the student would have just returned it for a new one.
Lansberry says the burger was provided in a "government commodity" program through a vendor.
