Overview
- Pork fat ranks eighth on a 100-food list with a score of 73, and no other animal fat or meat appears.
- BBC Future says it provides B vitamins and minerals and usually contains more unsaturated fat than lamb or beef.
- The reports highlight high levels of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat linked to heart health when portions stay moderate.
- Surrey Live notes vitamin D can be higher when pigs are kept outdoors, so pasture-raised pork fat is described as the better option.
- Media summaries conflict on Ocean Perch’s placement and do not explain the list’s method, showing gaps in how the ranking is presented.
