Enhanced???
More than half of the fresh pork sold in supermarkets is now "enhanced." Enhanced pork is injected with a salt solution to make lean cuts, such as center cut roasts and chops, seem moister. But I think natural pork has a better flavor.
Manufacturers don't use the terms "enhanced" or "natural" on package labels, but if the pork has been enhanced it will have an ingredient list. Natural pork contains just pork and will NOT have an ingredient list.
