Disappointed this time around
I have ordered ground pork from US Wellness Meats for several years and have always been more than happy with the quality, texture and taste of their ground pork. This time the grind was very coarse with a very high fat content (more than usual) and lots of gristle. The taste was very strong compared to previous orders and the texture was tough. This was disappointing as I have a beef allergy and had been able to depend on this quality ground pork. Now I am hesitant to reorder.
From USWM: We are so sorry to hear of your disappointment! We are aware of the grind issue in a very small percentage of our ground pork. We have narrowed down and removed the "oddly" ground pork from our inventory and do not anticipate this issue to continue with our future batches. Please give us a call at 877.383.0051 with your order number for further assistance. We appreciate you and look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve you!

First time was good, this round wasn't
I was very happy with the ground pork I got the first time I ordered it and so I decided to order some more. This second round came from a different brand than the first and was pretty awful. It was super fatty, with very big, tough chunks of fat. I hate throwing food away, but I ended up tossing it all because it was too unpleasant to eat.
From USWM: Thank you for your valued feedback on our Ground Pork. We utilize a state-of-the-art grinding machine, that should never allow large amounts of gristle or fat into the grind. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will happily refund you for the ground pork in your recent order. Please reach out to us by phone at 877.383.0051 referencing our response to your review. Our heritage pigs to very naturally in fat content, but again, we do not expect an overwhelming amount of large gristle pieces in any of our ground products. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, we are standing by to further assist!

Buyer be ware. This 'pork' is NOT from this company. They sent me anothers brand, which was inferior. has alot of fat, and the grind was too coarse.I was NOT made aware of this before the purchase. i contacted this company, and they said "they put it on their blog" i don't read their blog...I bought some before and I expect the same next time I order. I will NOT purchase from them again. I asked for a refund, they said"not on this ground can they refund! I HAD spent thousands, no more.SHAME ON THEM!
From USWM: We are sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with our Ground Pork - 1 lb. pkg. Our pork comes from farms in Missouri and Northern Arkansas. You can read more details on our pork blog, including information on the pig's diet, which is 100% vegetarian feed. They receive no added hormones and are antibiotic free. Our pigs enough wondering in open pastures, rooting in fresh dirt and munching on natural vegetation, small twigs and all the things under the blue skies and sunshine. All of the pigs, no matter where they come from, are raised in this exact same way. We are very transparent of our partner farms and outline each one in our FAQ. We appreciate and value your feedback.

We have already eaten tons of these. Always tasty and reliably good, so I can toss them into the freezer and know we have chow in stock. Mix with ground venison to add flavor and fat.

I use this ground pork to make my own sausage also. This plain pork sausage tastes wonderful in a quiche. The pork sausage is easy to use in so many recipes. I'm getting ready to order more. :)

What Ground Pork Should Taste Like
This ground pork is delicious, tastes and smells the way pork should. Conventional ground pork often has an off smell, and has added flavorings and water. Very happy with this product! Have bought several times and will again.

I use this ground pork to make my own breakfast pork sausage. It is low fat compared to store bought sausage. And I can add my own seasonings - allergic to some herbs, i.e., pepper family.

I prefer to make my own sausage and this pork is the perfect base to get it going. I've been using it for that as well as a meat sauce I use on a lot of items. This is now going to be an absolute staple in my freezer.

We like using ground pork for various recipes and have been disappointed by the quality of store-bought ground pork. The more health research I've done in wanting to feed our family quality food, the more I wanted to try US Wellness Meats....especially the ground pork. We received our first order recently and had the ground pork last night for the first time. It's amazing!! The taste and quality is head and tails above anything we've had before!
