Pretty safe bet that if you eat contaminated meat, you're going to get sick, unless it's cooked to the point where it's unrecognizable / inedible, and even then it's still dicey.

Where are you from that you refer to ground meat as 'minced? They are two different prep techniques

Not at all. Contaminations like e.coli are on the surface, as explained earlier. You can cook regular steaks rare, because the surface gets the temperature treatment required to make it safe

For the purposes of bacteria, ground and minced is the same; you mix the potentially contaminated surface of the meat in with the rest

But that's not what I asked you. Ground and minced are two different techniques, that result in different textures of the finished product.

You're reading comprehension is just as bad as his, as I asked where he was from

After looking it up, beef/other meat mince can refer to meat that has been passed through a grinder.

This product is distinguished from ground meat in the same jurisdictions by the fact that mince cannot be comprised of anything other than the cut of meat that was put into the grinder. Ground meat, on the other hand, can have additional fat or ice/water added to adjust the texture.

(Naturally mince can still refer to very finely chopped meat as well, but in many places it refers to the unadulterated ground cuts.)
