This depends on how it is produced.

In USA and other advance countries it cannot be marketed unless the pig is paned up, vaccinated, and fed antibiotics. This is done for at least 2 months before slaughtering, law may slightly vary from country to country and state to state, county to county.

Only in Germany there is a type of Pork that is eaten uncooked as spread, spread contains the spices that cures the pork to consumable standards.

Millions of people all over the world eat the pork, for its taste and flavour.

It is a good food and in some places it is very expensive and in other places it is vary cheap.

It can still cause problem if consumed without proper care, must be well cooked. The left over should be stored properly. Actually in that respect all food should be handled with respect and proper care.

If not cooked properly or if it got mixed up with non treated animal by mistake and also not cooked well then the parasite in the pork can enter our body and the worm can destroy our muscles tissue. It is call trichinosis, the cure is massive dose of Erythromicine, but the antibiotics must be given on time.
