Alpha-Gal Syndrome

[kaiser715]

If any of y'all have friends or family with Alpha-Gal (the "red meat" allergy from a tick), Amaroo Farms up in Liberty NC is now selling the AG-free Gal-Safe pork.

I've been getting ostrich, emu, duck from them. The pork is genetically modified, removing the galactose-a-1,3-galactose sugar molecule, for use in heart and kidney xenotransplants, and the meat is a secondary revenue string. Up to now, the company, Revivicor, has been giving it away randomly (send them an application, they may or may not send meat in a few months).

GALSAFE® PORK

GalSafe® pork does not contain detectable levels of alpha-gal.

Not cheap, but it's real pork.

Are they doing something to the pork after it is processed, or have they figured out the breeding to get that out?

The Pigs are genetically modified... Originally for Organ Transplant to humans, Which is in itself pretty amazing, The Meats just a happy accident.

FDA approves genetic alteration in pigs

Modification removes allergen, raising potential for medicine and meat production
