What it is
Pork is the culinary name for meat from a domestic pig. It is one of the most commonly consumed meats worldwide, valued for its flavor and versatility. Pork is obtained by butchering pigs raised for food production.
Why it's used
Pork is primarily used as a protein source and a flavor component in a wide variety of food products. It is found in fresh cuts, processed meats like bacon, ham, and sausage, and as an ingredient in many prepared meals. Its fat content also contributes to texture and juiciness in dishes.
Health notes
Pork is a whole food, not a food additive, so it does not have an FDA approval status like additives. It is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The nutritional content of pork can vary significantly depending on the cut and how it is prepared, with some cuts being leaner than others. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, which may be relevant depending on the cut of pork consumed.
Allergen info
Pork is not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
