Pork is rich in essential nutrients for the body. However, consuming pork that does not meet food safety and hygiene standards can lead to health issues such as food poisoning, parasitic infections, etc. So, how can you distinguish between clean and contaminated pork on the market? Let’s explore the answer with Kamereo in the following article!
What is clean pork?
Clean pork is free from bacteria or parasites such as worms. Therefore, the pig-raising process does not use growth-promoting food. The pork does not contain residual chemicals or preservatives. Instead, pigs need to be fed with cornmeal, rice bran, vegetables, and drink clean water.
When consuming contaminated pork for an extended period, consumers may face serious health issues such as:
- Antibiotics in pork can cause bone and dental diseases in fetuses and young children.
- Residual chemicals in pork, including lead and mercury, can affect the intestines, increasing the risk of cancer.
How to distinguish between clean and contaminated pork
Distinguishing between clean and contaminated pork is not easy. It requires certain experience and knowledge. However, you can refer to some tips below to choose safe pork for your health:
Observe external characteristics
When choosing pork, you can apply the following tips to distinguish clean pork:
- Color: Clean pork usually has a natural pink color, is shiny, not pale or bruised. Additionally, the fat is white or light yellow, firm. Avoid buying pork with an unusually dark red color, bright yellow fat, or many tiny white spots.
- Elasticity: Clean pork will have good elasticity, not be mushy when pressed. Moreover, the meat will quickly return to its original shape after being pressed. Contaminated pork often feels soft and mushy, with a sensation of being waterlogged inside.
- Surface: The surface of clean pork will be dry, not slimy or sticky. Contaminated pork often has a wet, slimy surface, possibly due to chemical use or improper preservation.
- Smell: Clean pork has a natural aroma, without a foul or fishy smell. Contaminated pork often has a foul, fishy, or veterinary drug smell.
Check during processing
In case you have already bought it, you can try the following ways:
- Boiled water: When boiling clean pork, the water will be clear, with little to no scum or foam. Contaminated pork often makes the boiling water cloudy, with lots of scum and foam.
- Meat fibers: Clean pork has small, regular fibers and uniform color. Contaminated pork often has large, loose fibers with uneven color.
- Taste: Clean pork has a naturally sweet and chewy taste. Contaminated pork often has a bland, loose taste and may even taste bitter or sour.
