Why is it so hard to find the pork in commercially canned Pork and Beans?
The pork used in commercially manufactured pork and beans is pork fat. During the cooking process it is virtually all rendered (melted). Manufacturers state that the pork fat is there for flavor, not for the meat content.
Some pork producers have tried to get companies to use only lean pork or stop using the term "pork." Some have even lobbied the FDA to require the change.
Manufacturers say that consumers like the products as they are, so they have no intention of changing them.

Because they are cooked in pork - the little cube is just the proof of the quality of pure pork used.

You are absolutely correct! And who wants that little square glob of fat in there, anyway? But advertising is advertising, and it apparently makes you think you are getting "the full meal deal" instead of just a can of beans. :-)
