What it is

Ground pork is pork that has been coarsely or finely ground. It is made from pork, which is the meat of a domestic pig. It is often sold with added fat to improve flavor and texture.

Why it's used

Health notes

Ground pork is a source of protein, B vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates meat products. Like all unprocessed meats, ground pork can carry bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli if not handled and cooked properly. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meat as carcinogenic to humans, but has not classified unprocessed red meat as such.

Allergen info
