Why are they using so much cumin in my pre-marinated pork shoulder roast?

The brand is Carnitas and one variety just says Seasoned, the other says Barbecue but both have an overwhelming amount of cumin. Is there some property in cumin that is needed for pork shoulder? Is it like a Mexican style? Some times I rinse it off before cooking.
