Health notes
Ground pork is a source of protein and nutrients like iron and zinc. The US FDA considers it a standard food ingredient. Like other meats, it can be a source of saturated fat and cholesterol. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, primarily related to colorectal cancer. However, the evidence for unprocessed red meat, like pork, is less conclusive, with the WHO classifying it as Group 2A, possibly carcinogenic.
