Meat of swine; fresh, chilled or frozen
In plain English
This category covers pork that is fresh, chilled, or frozen. The items are split into two main groups based on whether the meat is fresh and chilled or frozen. Within each group, the goods are further divided by their form, such as whole carcasses, half-carcasses, or specific cuts like hams and shoulders that still have bones attached. Any pork that does not fit into these specific forms is placed in a remaining category for that temperature state.
