Ground Pork nutrition label for Canada, the EU and the UK
The same 3 oz of ground pork, drawn by the site's Canadian, EU and UK renderers. Canada keeps a per-serving panel in English and French with its own Daily Values and folds trans fat into the saturated-fat row. The EU declaration is per 100 g only, states energy in kJ and kcal, and declares salt (sodium × 2.5) rather than sodium. The UK table is the EU layout as retained by the Food Information Regulations 2014, with the optional per-serving column and %RI. One recipe in the generator renders all of them from the same numbers.

What stands out in ground pork
Measured against the FDA's nutrient-content claim thresholds (21 CFR 101.54), ground pork is notable for:
- Protein - 22g per 3 oz - 44% DV, enough to qualify as an excellent source (20% DV or more).
- Saturated Fat - 7g per 3 oz - 33% DV, at or above the 20% the FDA treats as high.
- Cholesterol - 80mg per 3 oz - 27% DV, at or above the 20% the FDA treats as high.
- Total Fat - 18g per 3 oz - 23% DV, at or above the 20% the FDA treats as high.
These are the thresholds that decide whether a package may carry a claim like “good source of fiber”. The label generator applies the same rules to your own recipe.
