Salami

Traditionally made from pork; halal only if made from halal-slaughtered beef or another halal meat.

Why?

Salami is a cured, fermented sausage traditionally made from pork, though beef and other meat versions exist. It is haram if it contains pork, and halal only if made from a halal-slaughtered meat with no pork or alcohol-based ingredients in the curing process — check for halal certification.
