Cooked to proper temperature for the proper amount of time
Anytime you cross raw meat with anything else you run the risk of getting sick. You're not going to die, but you might wish you would for about 24-48 hours
I'm not seeing how the veggies on the same board pose a bigger threat than the pork itself. It's all getting cooked in the same pan to the same temperature (sure the cucumbers or pickles or whatever went in after the pork, but the whole boiling liquid thing rather takes care of that).
The reason that people have to be such sticklers about all this is because some idiots will use the same board and then cook the veggies separately, to a lower temperature, or not cook them at all.
It's like dicing onions and peppers for a meatloaf, and then throwing those raw veggies in with the raw meat. The whole thing is getting cooked. A bit overkill to dice your veggies on a separate board. Although I normally do all my veggie slicing and dicing prior to trimming or cutting my meat.

Jeez I was not trying to start an argument. The board thing comes down to how long the foods are mixed and at what temps. You're right, the veggies not being cooked at the right temp IS a problem, but so can cooking allthethings in the same pan at too low of heat for too long. If you're bringing them all up to a good temperature pretty quickly, you don't run any risk. If you cook them at a low temp just until they are done, you likely haven't gotten it to temp for long enough to kill everything you just created a nice breeding environment for. This is why your food in the crock pot is "done" well before you are able to take it out and safely eat it. It's got to be at the right temperature for the kind of bacteria you are cooking for the right amount of time to kill it all off.
In this case, is it going to be a big deal since he got it all to boiling for what was probably enough time? Nope. Is it a good habit to keep the meat separate anyway? Yep.
For the record: when I cook meat and veggies in a dish like this, I cook the meat to temp, then add the veggies to cook. Rice and noodles are cooked separately and added last minute.
For the MORE record (lol): I was just handing out some good-natured ribbing ffs, not a debate on food safety.

I don't discriminate. I love all animals!!
Cows, pigs, turkeys, deer, elk, antelope, frogs, fish, dove, quail, pheasant, chickens, snakes, rabbits, the list goes on
I want to say it is a little bit more robust in flavor than frog legs, and there's a whole lot more of it. I just made this last night. I had never had turtle before. I was skeptical, but the soup really surprised me. I fried some as well (mostly the white meat) and I might compare it to gator (which i have only had once). Now I have something to get excited about when I'm fishing for cats and a turtle takes the bait.
The thing about turtle, though, is that there are different kinds of meat on the same animal (white, dark, and in between). Some people day turtles have something like 7-8 kinds of meat. I don't really know what they mean by that though.
