Natural Pork

Pork is the culinary name for meat from domestic pigs. It is a widely consumed red meat, valued for its flavor and texture. It is obtained by processing the muscle tissue of pigs.

Pork is used as a primary protein source in many meals. It is found in various forms such as bacon, sausages, ribs, roasts, and ground meat. It is a versatile ingredient in many cuisines.

Pork is a source of protein, B vitamins, iron, and zinc. Depending on the cut and how it's prepared, it can also contribute saturated fat and sodium to the diet. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meat, such as bacon and sausages, as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), and unprocessed red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.
