Please read all labels for hidden pork ingredients and arm yourself by researching the name and derivation of all ingredients. Call the 1-800 or 1-888 customer service number for more information on the origin or source of unfamiliar ingredients. Products labeled plant-based or vegan are exempted from containing animal-derived ingredients. Some products are labeled K for Kosher, or Kp for Kosher (Pareve) or Kd for Kosher Dairy which means these products don't contain any pork or pork derived ingredients. Still read all ingredients because the jews label Genetically Modified Organisms and Bioengineered products as "kosher".  All out of order!! Even though a product may "seem" fit to eat or "clean" they may contain GMO or GE ingredients which makes them "unclean" to eat.
