What it is

Pork back ribs are a cut of meat from the rib cage of a pig. They consist of meat between and around the bones, typically from the loin area. They are often sold fresh, frozen, or pre-cooked and seasoned.

Why it's used

Pork back ribs are used in packaged foods as a main protein component, often pre-cooked and seasoned for convenience. They are commonly found in ready-to-eat meals, barbecue kits, and frozen entrees.

Health notes

Pork back ribs are a whole food, not a food additive, and are regulated by the FDA as a meat product. They are a good source of protein, but also contain saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories as part of a healthy eating pattern. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole food items like pork ribs for safety in the same way they assess food additives.
