    I don’t know. As a lack of proper inspections is a key aspect to the issue, i wouldn’t trust it not to be the case.

      I mean, how often are humans found infected by worms and reported in proportion to all pork eaten ?

      Looks like they are called these names

      Parasite/Disease Type Disease(s) Transmission Prevalence / Meat Contamination Rate
      Trichinella spp. Helminth Trichinosis Undercooked pork/game meat Low in commercial pork; higher in wild game (esp. bear, boar)
      Toxoplasma gondii Protozoa Toxoplasmosis Cat feces, undercooked meat High global exposure; ~30–50% worldwide seroprevalence
      Sarcocystis spp. Protozoa Sarcocystosis Undercooked meat, contaminated food Common in livestock; human infections relatively rare
      Taenia spp. Helminth Taeniasis, Cysticercosis Undercooked beef/pork Moderate; more common in regions with poor meat inspection
