then the mystery is pretty much solved. When thralls take damage while guarding your base (or for example if you ask them to follow you and you have well trained, causing them to drop below their new maximum health) they might use food from the thrall pot… and cooked pork gives the exact bonuses you listed.

Afterwards it doesn’t matter if they have their own food, the new bonus would only apply if they fall below maximum health and would be required to eat it on their own.
