General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Across forms of pork:CE· 31–377 mg per serving

This number comes from a single laboratory sample, and other cuts of the same food that were measured several times each came out substantially higher. We have not changed the figure, because we do not have a better-sourced one: we have stopped it reading as safe. Treat it as a moderate choice until it is re-measured.
