Antibiotic-ridden pork is a growing concern due to the unregulated use of antibiotic growth promoters in animal feed. While it may be challenging to detect antibiotic residues with the naked eye, there are telltale signs to look out for. The key indicators of antibiotic residue are noticeable changes in the color and texture of the meat and fat. When cooked, the meat will not exude the usual amount of moisture, setting it apart from regular, uncontaminated pork.
