Cured pork is still raw and needs cooked before it's safe to eat.

Curing the pork in salt does not cook the pork or make it safe to eat without cooking it.

You need to cook the cured salt pork before you eat the pork or it can make you sick.

Salt pork is raw and not already cooked and is only cured.

Salt pork is not already cooked and is still raw.

The salt cures the salt pork but the salt does not cook the pork so the salt pork is still raw and needs to be cooked before eaten.

Make sure you cook the salt pork before you eat any of it because it's raw and can make you sick.

Most grocery stores stock the salt pork in the same area where the regular pork meat is.

The salt pork in my local Walmart is right near the regular pork meat but some stores may have it in different areas.

If you cannot find the salt pork then a store employee can help you find it.

But you should look near the regular pork or other meats and then the salt pork should be in the same area.

Yes salt pork does eventually spoil even when frozen.

Salt pork will last up to 6 months in the freezer and salt pork will last up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

If you're not using the salt pork within 4 days then you should freeze the salt pork but if you're gonna use the salt pork within 4 days then refrigerating the salt pork will be okay.

If the salt pork has been in the refrigerator longer than 4 days then it's likely spoiled and should be thrown out.

If the salt pork smells bad is slimy etc then it's bad and should be thrown out.

Salt pork spoils faster than non salt pork even when frozen.

When frozen the salt pork will last for up to 6 months in the freezer before it goes bad.

When pork is cured with salt the salt pork will last less time in the freezer than non salt pork would.

Fresh pork that is non salt cured will last up to 12 months in the freezer while salt pork will last for up to 6 months before it goes bad.

Most any grocery store including Walmart should sell salt pork.

Walmart does sell salt pork.

The salt pork in Walmart should be found in the meat section where the other pork meat is sold.

If you cannot find the salt pork in your Walmart store you can ask an associate and they can help you find the salt pork.

Whenever I bought salt pork here at my local Walmart the salt pork was always located in the same area as the regular non salt pork is.

Usually the salt pork is in plain sight even though we may not notice it.

If you've bought regular pork at Walmart then the salt pork should be close by.

Most other grocery stores should also sell salt pork as well.
