What it is

This ingredient indicates that pork, the meat from a domestic pig, has been used in the food product. Pork is a common meat source worldwide and is processed in various ways, such as curing, smoking, or grinding, before being added to food.

Why it's used

Pork is frequently used in processed meats like pepperoni, salami, and other cold cuts due to its flavor and texture. It also appears in savory bakery products and ready-to-eat meals where a meaty component is desired.

Health notes

Pork is a source of protein, iron, and other nutrients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates pork products to ensure safety. Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) have classified processed meats, including those made with pork, as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. However, the risk is associated with high consumption levels.

Allergen info

Pork is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
