He bought pork from the market.

My apologies. The word 'can' should have been removed.
Thanks, Amy.

What is "pork can", YL? Or did you want to eliminate the word 'can'?

Note:
I believe 'tin' would be used instead of 'can' in BE, but I'm not positive.

Yoong Liat, your answer totally surprised me. Do you mean the person bought a can/cans which, if there's such type of can, is/are used for storing pork?

In my sentence, 'can' should have been removed, as Amy pointed out. Sorry for causing you to be confused.

I would say one of these:

"He bought a can of pork at the market."
"He bought pork at the market."
