Q. Why is my hamburger dark inside?
A. Fresh ground beef goes through a number of color changes during its shelf life. These changes are normal and the ground beef remains perfectly wholesome and safe to eat. When exposed to oxygen, the color of beef will turn to a bright red. This explains why the beef appears red on the surface and can look darker inside.
