Made With Pork And Chicken: Pork

Pork is the culinary name for meat from the domestic pig. It is one of the most widely consumed meats worldwide, valued for its flavor and versatility. Pigs are raised on farms, and their meat is processed into various cuts and products.

Pork is used in a wide range of food products as a primary source of protein and flavor. It is commonly found in sausages, bacon, ham, roasts, and ground meat dishes. Manufacturers use it to provide savory taste and a satisfying texture to meals.

Pork is a whole food ingredient and is not regulated by the FDA as an additive. It is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified the consumption of processed meat (which often includes pork, e.g., bacon, sausage) as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1). IARC also classified the consumption of red meat (including pork) as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A). These classifications are based on evidence linking consumption to an increased risk of colorectal cancer.
