What Nidam al-Tayyibat says
The system, religious in inspiration, excludes pork from the outset; it is never itemized because it is out of scope from the start. For a Western reader, this covers ham, bacon and pork-based cured meats.
Sources differ: INCERTAIN quant à la source : interdit par cadre religieux, non listé explicitement.
What conventional nutrition says
Pork is a meat rich in protein and thiamine; lean cuts have a profile comparable to other meats.
