Pork shoulder, cured, slices

Cured pork shoulder slices are a meat product made from the shoulder of a pig and preserved using salt. They provide mainly protein, with smaller amounts of fat and carbohydrate. Per 100g, they contain 17g of protein, 3.6g of fat, 1.2g of saturated fat and 2.5g of salt.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues and helps maintain muscle. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as salt used in curing contributes to the total eaten over the day. Saturated fat also contributes to overall dietary intake.
