About this food
Pork sits in the Meat & Protein group. Animal proteins tend to be higher in phosphorus, and animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80% versus 30-50% for plants. Choosing low-phosphorus proteins such as egg whites or tofu, or controlling portions of red meat, is a common CKD approach.
Nutrient insight
Sodium at 55% stands out. For patients with high blood pressure or swelling, foods like this need extra caution.
