What it is

A pork chop is a cut of meat taken from a pig, typically from the loin area. It usually includes a bone, but boneless varieties are also common. It is prepared by butchering the pig into specific cuts.

Why it's used

Pork chops are primarily used as a main protein source in meals. They are sold fresh, often pre-seasoned or marinated, and can be found in various prepared food products like seasoned pork strips or boneless chops in sauce.

Health notes

Pork chops are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees the safety of meat products. Lean cuts of pork can be part of a healthy diet, as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) for lean protein sources. There are no specific regulatory evaluations for 'pork chop' as a food additive by bodies like JECFA or EFSA, as it is a whole food.

Allergen info

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