I presume that means pigs that are fed an organic diet?Yes, it's organic
According to this,. . . and (properly speaking) not treated with any drugs for worms, or other diseases . . .
In the USA, "PORK", The OTHER White Meat", has become a dry tasteless piece of "Fiberboard"!
At least the pork in the DR is still "marbled" with a lot of good Ol' F-A-T!!
And thusly with F-L-A-V-O-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suspect that it's imported, and if it's not, then it's no more credible than the label on Crissol that says it's 100% pure soya.going back to the subject, i don't see how you could get "organic" pork in DR as they are no regulatory system in place, for local meat. Maybe Santo Domingo has stores that import organic meat but I have not seen any so far. I would suggest to buy piglets and let them roam free in your backyard for a couple years eating your leftovers.
I agree, pork is definatly the best meat here, very tasty, so I don't see the point of selling organic meat, plus apperently it sells for 130 pesos/lb.If some of you trys it, let us know
The point of eating organic is that the animal for slaughter has not had any chemical additions to their food and they are not brought up on 'medicine', or growth hormones. Having said that, there are various types of diseases in the DR that pigs get - just 'cause they are pigs. So, to have organic pork, one would have to find alternatives for the inoculations and medicines that the animals get. The little ones get their first chemical inoculations the minute they are born and if I remember correctly, every six weeks thereafter.
One would also have to have a very healthy herd, as many of the parasites are symbiotic. In other words, in a healthy animal, there is a normal balance, so the parasites live happily, without causing any harm. In a not so healthy animal they cause disease - and this is usually chemically treated.
There are prescribed organic regimes for raising pigs. I don't know if anyone is raising organic pigs in the DR. I do know of organic goats.
The other point is that organic meat is way healthier than an animal that was brought up 'chemically'. It tastes way better too!
