What it is

Pork raised without antibiotics means that pigs were not given any antibiotic medications during their lives. This practice aims to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The meat is processed and sold like conventional pork.

Why it's used

This ingredient is typically found in processed pork products like sausages, hot dogs, pepperoni, and deli meats. It is used as a protein source and provides the characteristic flavor and texture of these foods.

Health notes

Pork raised without antibiotics is regulated by the USDA. The FDA does not have a specific regulatory status for this claim, as it pertains to farming practices rather than a food additive. Concerns about antibiotic resistance are a public health issue, and reducing antibiotic use in livestock is a strategy to mitigate this. There is no evidence to suggest that consuming pork raised without antibiotics has different health effects compared to conventional pork at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

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