Jehovah's Witnesses do eat pork as long as the blood from the pig has been drained properly.

The Jehovah's Witness religion bans the eating of blood or anything made from blood (as well as blood transfusions), but that is also the sole dietary restriction.

If the pig was properly bled, pork may be eaten.

There are no dietary restrictions for the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jehovah's Witnesses abstain from eating the meat of animals from which blood has not been properly drained.

They also refrain from eating such things as blood sausage and blood soup.

No special preparation is required.

Vegan bacon is considered Halal.

Although there's also a Halal Bacon that people who eat Halal can eat.

Halal bacon is not made using pork but can be made with a variety of different meats provided they can be interchanged with bacon.

For this reason, halal bacon can be made with almost any type of halal food or meat colored or formed to look like a piece of bacon.

Many kinds of meat are allowed by Islamic law, but no meat is allowed on a vegan diet.

Eggs and dairy are also halal but not vegan.

Muslims can actually consume bacon, but not the pork kind.

They can eat either turkey or beef bacon and they do have halal bacon but it is either turkey or beef derived.

As far as bacon flavor goes, it is acceptable as long as it is not pork derived, whether natural or artificial.
