When it comes to trichinosis, a pig that eats its natural diet, which includes some scavenged dead animals, is more of a risk than conventionally raised pork.

Between 2002 and 2007, 11 cases were reported to CDC each year on average in the United States;[29] these were mostly the result of eating undercooked game, bear meat, or home-reared pigs. It is common in developing countries where meat fed to pigs is raw or undercooked, but many cases also come from developed countries in Europe and North America,[clarification needed] where raw or undercooked pork and wild game may be consumed as delicacies

That's wikipedia on trichinosis, so even undercooked pork is less risky than it was in the past. I don't eat pork rare--but I take advantage of not having to cook conventional pork well-done. |
