A member asked:

Does pork, belly have bacteria in it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All food does...: Unless you live in a closed, sterile environment, all food contains bacteria. Some bacteria are "good for you" (e.g. Probiotics). However, if you suspect a particular ingestant is tainted, don't eat it please.
