Even at a glance, the Smithfield Lean Generation Pork™ Chop has a larger more consistent loin eye size because it’s internally lean. The lean trimmed traditional chop is still visibly fatter.
Lean Generation looks better, cooks faster, and is healthier than traditional pork.
Traditional Pork
How do you make a line of fresh pork products that are bigger, meatier, and significantly lower in fat than ordinary pork? In the case of Smithfield Lean Generation Pork, we began more than a decade ago by acquiring the exclusive U.S. rights to the SPG (formerly NPD) hog, the leanest available for commercial production. Then, by exercising complete control over genetics and nutritional regimen, we developed a branded product that in many cases is even leaner than chicken breast. In fact, Smithfield Lean Generation is the first fresh pork to have select cuts certified by the American Heart Association for low cholesterol, sodium, and fat content.
LEAN GENERATION PORK™
HAS SUBSTANTIALLY
LESS FAT THAN
TRADITIONAL PORK
Smithfield Lean Generation Pork comes in several varieties, including self-basting and marinated cuts, and it can also be found in some of your favorite deli meats. Because it’s so much leaner than regular pork, Smithfield Lean Generation also cooks 15 to 20 percent faster. That makes it ideal for today’s busy consumers. And it’s not only good for you; it tastes great in all kinds of recipes. Try it next time instead of chicken or beef in the old family favorites. Just like that, you’ll have dozens of brand-new recipes that you already know by heart.
