Pork is the most popular meat in the Western world, particularly in Central Europe. It is also very popular in East and Southeast Asia (Mainland Southeast Asia, Philippines, Singapore, and East Timor). The meat is highly prized in Asian cuisines, especially in China (including Hong Kong) and Northeast India, [3] [4] for its fat content and texture.
Lietuviškas skilandis is a meat product in which pork (sometimes complemented with beef) is placed in a casing of pigs' bladders, cows' caecums or (in the past) a pig's stomach. The meat is a combination of finely chopped meat (10–30 mm), chilled minced meat and fat (5–20 mm).
Additionally, the 2002 FAO study was potentially misleading for countries with high levels of meat export compared to their population, as it relied on production data using full carcass mass availability, whereas exports generally contain less bones, cartilage and other things not typically used for human consumption.
One 10-g slice of cooked side bacon contains 4.5 g of fat, 3.0 g of protein, and 205 mg of sodium. [54] The fat, protein, and sodium content varies depending on the cut and cooking method. 68% of the food energy of bacon comes from fat, almost half of which is saturated. [ 55 ]
Products containing less than 5 g of fat show amounts rounded to the nearest 0.5 g. Amounts less than 0.5 g are rounded to 0 g. For example, if a product contains 0.45 g of trans fat per serving, and the package contains 18 servings, the label would show 0 g of trans fat, even though the product actually contains a total of 8.1 g of trans fat.
Shellfish are also generally lower in fat, less than 5%, and accordingly contain fewer calories than beef, poultry or pork. For example, a 100g portion of prawns (a typical prawn cocktail amount) contains only 0.2g of saturated fat and 76 calories, whilst 100g of beef mince contains 6.9g and 225 calories.
Beyond Meat also announced the launch in China of a plant-based version of minced pork. [41] In 2020, Beyond Meat launched an e-commerce site to sell products directly to consumers. [42] In January 2021, Taco Bell announced a collaboration with Beyond Meat, initially as a test and then as a permanent option for a new plant-based protein food. [43]
Trade in pork bellies declined, and they were delisted from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 2011. [94] [95] In 2023, China produced more pork than any other country, 55 million tonnes, followed by the European Union with 22.8 million tonnes and the United States with 12.5 million tonnes. Global production in 2023 was 120 million tonnes. [96]
