White Cheddar Pork Rinds - 7 oz
Pork King Good's White Cheddar rinds are fried in fat the company renders itself, inside the Milwaukee-area plant it bought outright in 2022 from The Porkie Company — a 74-year-old pork rind manufacturer that made Pork King Good the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturer in the country. The cheddar flavor comes from real cheddar cheese, whey, and buttermilk, not a cheese-dust shortcut, which is how you get that lick-your-fingers white-cheddar-popcorn hit without a single gram of carbs riding along.
- Built for sharing: anchor a keto charcuterie board, or pass the 7 oz party-size bag around at game night.
- Cooked in Pork King Good's own rendered pork fat and flavored with real cheddar cheese, whey, and buttermilk — no artificial cheese flavoring.
- 0 grams total carbohydrates per serving, keto and paleo-friendly, and naturally gluten-free.
White Cheddar is Pork King Good's best-selling flavor, and the reason is simple: it delivers the familiar, lick-your-fingers cheesiness of white cheddar popcorn with 0 grams of total carbohydrates per serving, making it a keto-friendly, low-carb snack any time of day. This 7 oz party-size bag comes out of the Milwaukee-area facility Pork King Good has owned and operated since May 2022, when the woman-owned company acquired The Porkie Company — the 74-year-old Wisconsin manufacturer it had spent years buying from as a customer — making it the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturer in the United States.
Every rind in this bag is fried in Pork King Good's own rendered pork fat, then coated in a cheddar seasoning built from real cheddar cheese, whey, and buttermilk rather than an artificial cheese-flavor powder. The result is a crunch that's dense with protein and completely free of the starches that make traditional popcorn or potato chips carb-heavy.
These rinds are as much at home scattered over a salad for crunch or set out on a charcuterie board as they are eaten straight from the 7 oz party-size bag at a tailgate or game night. However you serve them, they hold their crunch and their flavor without going soft or greasy.
Keto and paleo-friendly, naturally gluten-free, and shelf-stable — keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry pantry and reseal after opening to keep the crunch intact.
Ingredients: Pork Rinds (Cooked in Pork Fat), Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Salt, Cheese Cultures, Enzymes), Whey, Buttermilk, Natural Flavor, Salt, Disodium Phosphate, and Silicon Dioxide Added as an Anti-Caking Agent.
This product contains milk ingredients.
Common Questions
How does the carb and protein count compare to potato chips or popcorn?
A 1 oz (about 28g) serving of White Cheddar pork rinds runs roughly 80-90 calories, 9 grams of protein, 5-6 grams of fat, and 0 grams of total carbohydrate. The same size serving of regular potato chips typically carries 150-160 calories, 2 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, and 15 grams of carbohydrate, while white cheddar popcorn lands around 140 calories, 2 grams of protein, and 18-20 grams of carbohydrate per ounce. The gap comes down to what each snack is made from: pork rinds are fried pork skin, which is almost entirely protein and rendered fat, while chips and popcorn start from starch-heavy potatoes or corn kernels. That difference is why this bag delivers roughly 4-5 times the protein of a chip or popcorn serving with none of the starch.
Why does frying in pork fat instead of a seed oil matter for shelf life and flavor?
Pork fat is high in monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids, which are chemically more stable under heat than the polyunsaturated fats found in soybean, canola, or sunflower oil. Polyunsaturated fats oxidize faster because their double bonds are more reactive with oxygen, which is what turns a fried snack rancid or stale-tasting over time. Frying the rinds in Pork King Good's own rendered pork fat means the finished product resists that oxidative breakdown, which is part of why the crunch holds up in the bag rather than going soft or picking up an off flavor. It also carries the flavor of the pork itself into the final product instead of masking it with a neutral frying oil.
Does this fit a keto, paleo, or carnivore diet, and what do the macros look like?
Yes to all three. Each 1 oz serving has 0 grams of total carbohydrate, so it doesn't touch daily net carb limits on a ketogenic plan, and with 9 grams of protein and 5-6 grams of fat per serving it fits a roughly 1:0.6 protein-to-fat ratio that works well for both keto and paleo macro targets. The ingredient list is free of grains, legumes, and refined sugar, satisfying paleo criteria, and because the base ingredient is pork skin fried in pork fat, it also works within a carnivore framework, with the cheddar, whey, and buttermilk coating being the only dairy-derived additions. Anyone following a strict zero-dairy carnivore protocol should note that the cheese seasoning does contain milk-based ingredients.
What dishes can I use these in beyond snacking straight from the bag?
The White Cheddar flavor holds its crunch well when scattered over salads in place of croutons, giving a cheesy, savory crunch without adding carbohydrate. It also works set out on a charcuterie or snack board alongside cheeses and cured meats, since the cheddar seasoning pairs naturally with those flavors, and it holds up next to dips like guacamole or spinach dip without going limp the way a chip can. For tailgates or game nights, the 7 oz party-size bag is sized for sharing straight out of the bag as a stand-alone snack. No cooking adaptation is needed since the product arrives fully cooked and ready to eat.
How can I verify the ingredient and certification claims on this bag?
The ingredient list on the bag matches what's printed here exactly: pork rinds cooked in pork fat, cheddar cheese made from milk, salt, cheese cultures and enzymes, whey, buttermilk, natural flavor, salt, disodium phosphate, and silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent. There's no maltodextrin, modified food starch, or artificial cheese-flavor powder in that list, which is what backs the 'No Artificial Ingredients, Colors or Flavors' claim on the label. The Gluten-Free, Keto, Keto Friendly, and Paleo certifications printed on the bag reflect third-party review of that same ingredient list against each diet's standards, so checking the ingredient panel against the certification claim is the most direct way to confirm both line up.
What does 'woman-owned' mean for this specific product?
Pork King Good is owned and operated by a woman-led team, and in May 2022 the company acquired The Porkie Company, a Wisconsin pork rind manufacturer that had been operating for 74 years and that Pork King Good had been buying product from for years before the acquisition. That purchase made Pork King Good the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturer in the United States, and this bag is produced at that same Milwaukee facility rather than through a third-party co-packer. Owning the plant means the company controls the fat-rendering, frying, and seasoning process directly instead of outsourcing it, which is part of why the ingredient list stays short and free of fillers.
Is disodium phosphate or silicon dioxide something I need to be concerned about?
Disodium phosphate is a mineral salt used in small amounts to help the cheddar seasoning adhere evenly to the rind and to stabilize the cheese blend; it's the same compound used in many processed cheese products and is recognized as safe by the FDA at food-use levels. Silicon dioxide is added strictly as an anti-caking agent, meaning it keeps the cheddar seasoning powder from clumping in humid conditions, and it passes through the body without being absorbed. Neither ingredient is a preservative, flavor enhancer, or artificial coloring, and both appear in trace amounts relative to the pork rind, cheddar cheese, whey, and buttermilk that make up the bulk of the seasoning blend.
Every rind in this bag is fried in Pork King Good's own rendered pork fat, then coated in a cheddar seasoning built from real cheddar cheese, whey, and buttermilk rather than an artificial cheese-flavor powder.
