Pork. IF they didn't put that little piece in they couldn't call them pork and beans

It's a small chunk of pork lard. It gives a little flavor to the beans and also softens them during the cooking process. Don't be afraid!

It's most likely human flesh and has to do with uncooperative employees. As to why it's in the pork and beans, it's the easiest way to get rid of the evidence.

It's bacon fat, it's added for flavoring. Enjoy your beans!

Many answers here say 'bacon' but in my experience it is pure white. Pure white 'bacon' equals pork fat - lard. I'm no vegetarian, but to me that is gross!
