4What does your thermometer say? – Stephie Jan 13 '16 at 19:35

2There is no way for us to tell you that your food is safe to consume... only you can tell by using a thermometer and comparing that internal temperature to the "safe" temperatures chart. – Catija Jan 13 '16 at 19:55

It's more about internal temperature than it is about the time and temp. Can't really help you. – NKY Homesteading Jan 13 '16 at 20:06

The only way to tell if a pork roast has been cooked long enough is by taking an internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer in several places around the thickest portion of the roast.
The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, roasts, and tenderloin to an internal temperature between 145° F. (medium rare) and 160° F. (medium), followed by a 3 minute rest. Since large cuts increase approximately 10° F while resting, remove them from the heat at 150° F. followed by a 10 minute rest.
