Made With Pork Sirloin Hips

Pork sirloin hips refer to a specific cut of meat from the hip area of a pig. This lean cut is typically prepared by butchering the pig and separating the sirloin portion from the hind leg. It is often further processed, such as curing or smoking, for use in various food products.

Pork sirloin hips are primarily used as a protein source in prepared foods. They are commonly found in products like Canadian bacon, pizza toppings, and sandwich meats, providing flavor and texture. Manufacturers use this cut for its lean profile and versatility in processed meat applications.

As a whole food, pork sirloin hips are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for safety and labeling, rather than being an FDA-approved additive. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend choosing lean protein sources, and lean cuts of pork can be part of a healthy diet. There are no specific JECFA or EFSA evaluations for this particular cut of meat as an additive.
