In the Old testament. In the New testament, Jesus Christ said, it is not important what goes into your mouth, but what comes out of it.

The scripture specifies: “Every creature that splits the hoof and forms a cleft in the hoofs and chews the cud among the beasts, that is what you may eat.” (Le 11:3) And again: “You must eat no detestable thing of any sort. This is the sort of beast that you may eat: the bull, the sheep and the goat, the stag and gazelle and roebuck and wild goat and antelope and wild sheep and chamois; and every beast that splits the hoof and that forms a cleft into two hoofs, chewing the cud among the beasts.”—De 14:3-6.
Animals lacking one or both of the above-mentioned features were not to be eaten by those under the terms of the Law covenant. The prohibited animals included the rock badger, the hare, the pig, the camel. Also, creatures ‘going upon their paws’ were prohibited, this doubtless embracing such creatures as the lion, the bear, and the wolf.—Le 11:4-8, 26, 27; De 14:7, 8.

It was part of the mosaic laws which can be found in the book of Leviticus, chapter 11. However when Jesus gave the gentiles the new covenant, it bypasses mosaic law by stating that the things you take into your body will come back out and are therefore do not defile the body. It is the things that come from the heart and mouth that defile a person.

In the book of Leviticus, Chapter 11, v.7, it is recorded that God declares the pig to be unclean for believers. Then, in verse 8, God says: ' You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you'. This command is repeated in Deuteronomy 14;7-8. Then, in Isaiah 65:2-4, and 66:17, God issues a stern warning against those who eat pork.
The bible contradicts it self because people added lies in it

In the book of Leviticus, but the OT was meant for Jews, so you can relax and eat anything you want:)

I forget exactly where but check out Deuteronomy or Leviticus... one of Moses' five books in the Old Testament.
Peace be with you!

Lev 11:4 But you must not eat animals such as camels, rock badgers, and rabbits that chew the cud but don't have divided hoofs. And you must not eat pigs--they have divided hoofs, but don't chew the cud. All of these animals are unclean, and you are forbidden even to touch their dead bodies. (CEV version)
for any other version see LEV 11:7
