Perhaps the original poster got confused.

In my case, no pork or alcohol comes in my house. Also, no products with
animal bi-products of pork or uncertain origin (think gelatin or glycerin)
or alcohol. Usually, I have to check all the candy that any kids bring
over to make sure it's ok to eat. It's amazing how many products out there
have animal by-products in them. (Altoids? Dishwashing liquid? Ice-cream?
Yogurt? All usually have gelatin or glycerin in them.)

Lucky for me, tea is usually fine. I've heard some of the flavoured teas
(cheap kinds usually) out there having 'haram' (forbidden) ingredients, but
I don't drink those anyways.
