Health notes

Pork is a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Its fat content, including saturated fat, varies by cut. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Pork is not considered a food additive and is regulated by the USDA as a food product; therefore, it does not have an FDA additive status like GRAS or an approved additive status. JECFA and EFSA do not evaluate whole food ingredients like pork as food additives.
