The nutrition info on pork rinds says it has 8 grams of protein with an asterisk saying “not a significant source of protein”. Does anyone know what gives? 8 grams seems like a signifcant amount and other foods have way less protein listed without saying the amount isn’t “significant”.
As far as I can Google, it is the lack of Tryptophan and Cystine.

The protein in pork rinds is mostly Collagen.
Glycine, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine are not nutritionally exciting amino acids.

From this thread:
“Not a significant amount of protein” ?
This gets a lot of play on my gastric bypass message board (GBS patients need a significant amount of protein in their diets). It’s not a “complete” protein in and of itself.
