pork

Pork costs less than most other meats.
Look for a “BEST if used by” date on the package.
The leanest cuts of pork include tenderloin and loin or rib chops and roasts. Look for ground pork that is at least 85% lean.

Refrigerate fresh pork and cook or freeze within 3 to 5 days. Keep tightly wrapped to prevent drying.

Follow these guidelines when handling meat:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils and surfaces often with hot soapy water.

Separate: Keep raw meat and juices from contacting other raw or cooked foods.
