Pork liver cheese: identifying the food

The calculation describes USDA's processed “Liver cheese, pork” entry. The word cheese in its name should not be taken to mean a dairy cheese. Each 100 grams gives 304 kcal. Raw pork liver, goose-liver pâté and homemade spreads have different preparations; a branded product's current label takes priority over this generic reference. [1]

Braunschweiger pork liver sausage has its own reference; this entry’s 38-gram slice should not replace its 18-gram source slice.

Calories and protein in a slice

USDA lists a 38 g slice, giving 116 kcal and 5.78 g protein. A weighed 30 g amount provides 91 kcal. Thin or thick slices do not automatically match the 38 g reference. Count bread, butter and sauces separately. These quantities are calculation examples rather than portions recommended for everyone.

Iron, vitamin A and sodium

The 38 g source slice supplies 4.12 mg iron, 1995.76 µg RAE vitamin A and 465.5 mg sodium, along with approximately 3.4 g saturated fat. Micrograms RAE and international units are different vitamin A measures. Iron content does not make the product a substitute for anaemia treatment. Total sugars are unreported, so the product should not be called sugar-free; total carbohydrate is not automatically all sugar either. The fat, iron and vitamin A calculation for canned goose liver pâté uses a different preparation and a 13-gram reference tablespoon.

Can liver cheese be eaten during pregnancy?

Pregnancy guidance advises avoiding liver and liver-containing products because of their high vitamin A content. Liver cheese should therefore not be suggested as a pregnancy iron source. [2] Other consumers should still check the pork content, refrigeration instructions and time allowed after opening. Refrigeration does not make it keep indefinitely. This generic reference cannot establish precise nutrition for an unpackaged product with unknown ingredients. Beef-liver cooking and pregnancy guidance likewise explains why cooking does not remove the pregnancy advice.
