– Why do packages of pork rinds have high protein but also say it’s not a significant source of it?

There are a bunch of amino acids that go into proteins and your body can make most of them but there are 9 essential ones that you can’t build and need to get from your food
Pork rinds have a lot of protein but they’re missing 3 of the 9 essential amino acids so if pork rinds are your only source of protein you’ll start running into issues which is why they are labeled like that

No explanation to add beyond what’s already been stated (as usual, I’m late to the party), but I’m imagining this moment in corporate HQ.
Sir, the day we’ve feared has come. Someone read the nutrition label on the pork rinds.
