According to Vayikra we have:
ז וְאֶת-הַחֲזִיר כִּי-מַפְרִיס פַּרְסָה הוּא, וְשֹׁסַע שֶׁסַע פַּרְסָה, וְהוּא, גֵּרָה לֹא-יִגָּר; טָמֵא הוּא, לָכֶם.
7 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
Nowadays it's possible to mimetize flavours and aromas. Artificial Flavors are flavors that have been created for food that do not exist in nature or simply an attempt to clone a flavor found in nature. Most artificial flavors are specific and often complex mixtures of singular naturally occurring flavor compounds combined together to either imitate or enhance a natural flavor. Many flavorants consists of esters. They are creadted in laboratories.
The question is: Is it any wrong to have food with artificial flavours of non kosher foods?such as food with bacon flavour?(because it is not the bacon itself)
If not, why?
Answer
The Gemarah in Chullin 109 writes for everything that is prohibited there is a thing which is kosher and is the same.The gemara brings the שיבוטא which is a kosher fish head which tastes like pig.So from this gemara it is permitted,l.The Chida also permits this based on this gemara.
