Pepperoni pizza lovers and parasite cleansing

Step 1 open a dumpster Step 2 find rotten food Step 3 ????? Step 3.5 make a TikTok Step 4 profit$$$

Oh please. No parasite is going to live in that much sodium and cooking.

How about cooking your food properly before you eat it.

That’s why pig 🐷 is not kosher.

Pigs were once human. There is a reason Jews don't eat them and that we use fetal pigs for dissection classes.

Ahh.......crap, I love salami. - 🤮🤮 I think sometimes is better not to see and not to know things.

I don't want to see that . I don't really eat pig at all , but have a real problem giving up pepperoni on pizza , and bacon in bacon and egg breakfast tacos . In South TX are the best . Some pico , two kinds of salsa on a proper tortilla. Dammit boy ! 🔥

Yeesh, so much for ordering pizza tonight

No commercially sold meat can be guaranteed to be 100% free of any and all parasites. Parasites like *Toxoplasma gondii*, *Trichinella spiralis* (in pork), or *Taenia* species (tapeworms in beef or pork) can potentially be present in meat, even with modern farming and processing standards. However, the risk is minimized through strict regulations, inspections, and proper handling. In the U.S., for example, the USDA oversees meat production, requiring inspections and enforcing standards to reduce parasitic contamination. Cooking meat to the recommended internal temperatures (e.g., 165°F/74°C for poultry, 160°F/71°C for ground meats, 145°F/63°C for whole cuts of pork or beef) effectively kills parasites. Freezing at specific temperatures (like -4°F/-20°C for at least 7 days) can also eliminate some parasites, such as *Trichinella* in pork. That said, "100% free" is impossible to certify because no system can test every single piece of meat for every possible parasite at a microscopic level. The commercial meat supply is generally safe when properly sourced, handled, and cooked, but absolute certainty isn’t achievable. Wild game, by contrast, carries a higher risk if not processed with the same rigor.
