Correct Answer: Pork

Pork has the maximum Vitamin B-complex content among all meats. In particular, pork contains 5–10 times more Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) than beef and mutton.

Vitamin Distribution in Meats

• Thiamine (B1): Maximum in Pork (5–10x more than beef/mutton).
• Niacin (B3): Maximum in Poultry meat (white meat).
• Vitamin B12: Highest in organ/variety meat (liver, kidney); present in all animal meats.
• Folic acid & B12: Higher in beef & mutton.
• Vitamin A: Present in beef and mutton but absent in buffalo meat, chevon, and pork.
• Vitamin C: Almost absent in lean meat, milk, and eggs.
