A friend said there are no parasites (anymore) in European porc so you don’t need to over cook it, gotta try to find a credible source for that. He’s a chef and makes like lots of canned food and more on a semi industrial scale so It’s not nobody, but still I wonder.

Huh. I didn’t realize tapeworms could travel outside the digestive tract. Apparently it’s much more common with “pork tapeworm” and this poor guy is thought to have gotten in this situation by eating undercooked pork.

That sounds like a risk I am not willing to take

In Japan, I’ve also had like medium pork katsu. So pork katsu not fully cooked. I’m sure there are higher quality porks different places. Def not something I will try in US.

I think trichinosis (sp?) is rare these days, but dunno about all the other wriggly stuff

I can only speak about Germany, but Germany is one of the largest pork producers and consumers.
There is at least one mayor scandal every year about malpractice, lack of hygiene and/or abuse of workers at industrial animal farms and slaughterhouses. The number of government inspectors only is enough to allow for inspections about once every 20 years or so per business. Also in many cases inspections are done by the local veterinarians, who also have the farmers/slaughter houses as customers and have a clear conflict of interest.

What about actual parasites being spread int he pork herd ?
Do they find some infestation regularly ?Saleh@feddit.org 5 days ago
I don’t know. As a lack of proper inspections is a key aspect to the issue, i wouldn’t trust it not to be the case.

Yeah like Buittoni and their pizzas with botulism. Nothing is perfect.

I’ve heard that as well. It’s hard to figure out how many of the dissenting opinions are based on fact, and how many are outdated.

Schweinemet (raw ground pork you spread on rolls) is relatively common in Germany. Kind of gross looking but I think it is quite unlikely to cause problems if you eat it quickly.

The Daily Mail commenting on a social media post is about as legitimate a news source as “a guy that was shouting at the bins behind the pub said…”

True, but it’s the most respectable source I came across when reverse image searching this meme. I guess we could have just stuck with the meme? It doesn’t give a lot of context.

It’s always pork.

Truth to the legends… there’s a reason two separate religious codes banned consumption of pork.

how separate are they
Echolynx@lemmy.zip 5 days ago
Fair point. Probably not very separate to begin with, but definitely so now.

Made me wonder what the AI overview would say when you google “you can only get a tapeworm from eating pork”, but it put the Sean Locke videos at the top and then and overview saying correctly that it’s not true.

Delightful!
