5 “Dirtiest” Parts of a Pig That Butchers Never Feed Their Families
1. Pork Shoulder (Upper Blade Meat)
This cut comes from the upper shoulder of the pig. It has a marbled, plum-blossom appearance with pink flesh and streaks of white fat. However, it’s considered the “dirtiest” part because it is often the site where pigs are injected with drugs or vaccines. Residues may remain in the tissue, so experienced buyers avoid this cut. Don’t be fooled by dishonest sellers.
