No telling what parts go into it, but - allegedly - this is the recipe for the formed pork patty:

PRESSED FORMED PORK
70.00% – Pork, Raw, coarse grind
20.00% - Water
3.50% - Dextrose
4.00% - Mixture of Hydrolyzed soy protein, Soy Protein Concentrate Powder partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils, sodium phosphates, mono sodium glutamate, autolyzed yeast extract, disodium inosinate and guanylate, xanthan gum.
2.00% - Salt
0.50% - MSG

That being said, I think the pork parts (regardless of their origin) are probably the best part of the sandwich, but I still like to have one every now and then.
