Should kalua pork have a pink color when cooked?

[Marich]

Is it normal that kalua pork is pink after it has been fully cooked? I have seen that the parts of the bacon have different colours and I’m asking if that is the right thing or whether the bacon is under cooked. Pretty please let me hear from you concerning your encounters and suggestions.

Yes, it's normal for Kalua pork to have a pink hue even when fully cooked. The smoking process can give it that color, similar to what you see in smoked bacon.

Yes, kalua pork can have a pinkish color due to the smoking process, which can give it a reddish hue. As long as it's cooked through and tender, it's perfectly fine!

Totally agree! That pink hue just adds to the flavor—smoked meat vibes are the best! Thanks for the recipe!
