Pork, spare ribs, 'barbecue style', meat only, retail, reheated

These are retail barbecue-style pork spare ribs, reheated, with the figures referring to the meat only rather than the bones. The samples include American-style, Chinese-style, and hot and spicy ribs sold chilled or frozen. They mainly provide protein and fat. Per 100g, they contain 26g of protein and 17g of fat, including 6.2g of saturated fat, as well as 1.1g of salt.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Pork also provides thiamin, which helps the body release energy from food, and zinc, which supports normal immune function. The saturated fat and salt content are relevant for people monitoring their intake of these nutrients. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
