Dietary Restrictions in Abrahamic Faiths

In the context of Abrahamic religions, the consumption of pork is explicitly prohibited by the dietary laws of Judaism (kashrut), Islam (halal), and certain Christian denominations such as the Adventists (kosher animals). Pigs are deemed unclean animals in the dietary practices of Judaism and Islam, and this sentiment is also reflected in parts of Christianity.
