Prohibition of Pork Consumption

In the context of Abrahamic faiths, the consumption of pork is explicitly prohibited under dietary laws outlined in Judaism (kashrut), Islam (halal), and among certain Christian groups, like the Adventists (kosher animals). Within Judaism and Islam, the pig is regarded as an impure animal for food, a view shared by parts of Christianity as well.
