Yes, pork carries trichinella - this can be killed by freezing it for a certain amount of days (I forget it off the top of my head). Most raw food, whether you buy it from a manufacturer or the grocery store, has been frozen for this amount of time. It's a typical practice of raw feeders to freeze all of their meat for 48 hours just to kill anything that might be there.
Well I learn something new every day (I hope)! Thank you!
