Is this a pork tapeworm?

No, it's a pig's arterial tapeworm.

The pork tapeworm is now so rare that you'd have to go to a medical lab to see a specimen. It comes in sections, not continuously like this.

The adult pig tapeworm is milky white, long, flat, chain-like, thin, slightly transparent, about 2 to 4 meters long, thin at the front, and flattening backward. The number of segments on the chain is about 700 to 1000, the young segments near the neck, the segments are short and wide; the adult segments in the middle are nearly square, and the pregnant segments at the end are rectangular. Each segment is flanked by a genital pore, regularly distributed on both sides of the chaetotaxy.
