Pork

Pork is a type of meat that comes from pigs, which are farm animals raised for their meat. It is a common ingredient in many dishes and recipes, known for its flavour and versatility in cooking. Pork can be found in various forms, such as chops, sausages, bacon, and ham.

To make pork ready for cooking, pigs are raised on farms until they reach the right size and weight for meat production. The pigs are then sent to processing plants where the meat is taken from different parts of the animal, such as the shoulder, loin, or belly. This meat is then butchered, packaged, and distributed to grocery stores for consumers to purchase and cook at home.

Pork appears on food labels because it is a popular ingredient used in a wide range of products. It adds taste and protein to dishes like stews, roasts, and stir-fries. Common foods that contain pork include sausages, hot dogs, bacon sandwiches, and even some soups and ready meals. It can also be used as a filling in pastries, pies, and dumplings.
