Could you please clarify if Pocky, the popular Japanese snack, contains any pork ingredients? I'm asking because I'm on a strict diet that excludes pork, and I've been enjoying Pocky quite frequently. However, I've heard conflicting information about whether or not it's suitable for pork-free diets. Could you shed some light on this matter and provide a definitive answer? It would be greatly appreciated.

The primary exception to this rule is whole milk powder, which is a significant ingredient in some Pocky flavors. Whole milk powder is derived from cows' milk and therefore contains animal-based products.

Another ingredient to be mindful of is lactose, which is a naturally occurring sugar found in milk. While lactose itself is not an animal product in its purest form, it's derived from milk, making it an animal-based component in Pocky.
