What it is

Tenderloin is a specific cut of meat, typically from pigs (pork tenderloin) or cattle (beef tenderloin). It is a lean and tender muscle located along the animal's spine. It is obtained by butchering the animal.

Why it's used

In packaged foods, tenderloin is used as a protein source and to contribute flavor and texture. It is often found in processed meat products like sausages, hotdogs, and breakfast sandwiches, where it can be ground or diced and mixed with other ingredients.

Health notes

Tenderloin is a whole food and a source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. As a food ingredient, it is not regulated by the FDA as a food additive. Its consumption is part of general dietary guidelines. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend choosing lean protein sources as part of a healthy eating pattern.
