Meat-free pork. Unveiled by Impossible Pork, U.S. in Las Vegas, the product looks exactly like the real deal and (apparently) tastes like it too. But, as well as appeasing to vegans and vegetarians, it also has religious ramifications that are unprecedented. The &#8220;pork&#8221; is (technically) halal, kosher and edible for faiths who forbid meat consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Although the product is yet to receive official kosher and halal certifications, due to it&#8217;s lack of pork (and animal) content, we&#8217;re safe to assume that&#8217;s where we&#8217;re heading.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vplayer\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowautoplay=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QHZpPBPA-KQ\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;This product isn&#8217;t designed specifically to target people who have religious objections to eating pigs, but it&#8217;s important for us, so we will definitely seek certification as kosher and halal,&#8221; CEO and founder Pat Brown said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Muslim journalist Abrar Al-Heeti, tried the product and said it &#8220;has a chewy consistency and a flavor similar to that of chicken, albeit with a bit of a more savory, smoky essence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"c5b541d88d911dcbb84397def1a3492d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- 2 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3943282228430444\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5511153269\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>However, social media users are still debating over whether or not the product is actually halal<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">impossible burgers and beyond burgers are rengineering burgers with vegan patties that are indiscernible from the beef patty which they are trying to replace. a new development in this is \u201cimpossible pork.\u201d it\u2019s a completely vegan patty that tastes like pork. sounds halal, right?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ahmed Al Shaer (@AhmedAlshaer_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AhmedAlshaer_\/status\/1214846471096487938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 8, 2020<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Logically halal since it&#8217;s vegan.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to following religion, we&#8217;re supposed to avoid anything remotely close to the taste of pork so I don&#8217;t think it would be permissible in that department.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Whays (@paakdaman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paakdaman\/status\/1215508133721837569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 10, 2020<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"c5b541d88d911dcbb84397def1a3492d\" data-index=\"5\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- 5 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3943282228430444\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9258826580\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/me.mashable.com\/culture\/8651\/plant-based-meatless-product-could-mean-the-first-halal-pork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"c5b541d88d911dcbb84397def1a3492d\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- 3 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3943282228430444\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2884989920\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] As the world of food moves deeper into meat-free eating, another meatless product has sparked global attention.
