Best to Buy

Pork chop meat should be reddish pink.

Prep & Store

Refrigerate raw pork chops in their original wrapping for up to two days. Cooked pork will keep up to five days in the refrigerator.

Tasty Tip

It is neither necessary nor desirable to cook pork until it is completely white. Today’s pork is so lean that overcooking makes it tough.

Quick & Easy Recipe

Brush chops with olive oil and grill for about 4 minutes per side or until chops are white but still juicy on the inside.
