                                Fresh cuts of pork are actually naturally low in sodium, with an average of just 55 mg per 100-gram serving, debunking the common misconception that all pork contains a lot of salt. The high sodium levels associated with pork come almost exclusively from processing methods like curing, brining, and seasoning, not from the meat itself.
