Incomplete protein. Most of the protein here is collagen, which lacks tryptophan, one of the nine essential amino acids. High concentration doesn’t make it a complete protein the way whey, egg or soy is.

Research notes
Pork-skin protein is mostly collagen, an incomplete protein, so proteinSource is collagen. The label agrees: it says 'not a significant source of protein' for %DV. Nutrition is from the Nutrition Facts image on the Amazon listing for the 1.1 oz Sea Salt bag: 1/2 oz (14 g) gives 90 kcal, 7 g protein, 0 g carbs, 0 g sugar and 6 g fat. 4505's own site sells only wholesale cases and has no consumer product page. The label says 'about 2 servings per container'. servingsPerPackage is 26.4, by weight (13.2 oz / 0.5 oz); the label's rounded 2 per bag would give 24. Price rule: Amazon's current one-time price, with no deal badge and no Typical price shown (sold by 4505 Meats). The rating is shared with the 12 x 3 oz listing.
