S 22:30 (103rd in order of 'revelation') That and he who magnifies the hurumat of Allah, it is better for him with his lord. And cattle have been made lawful for you except what is read to you. So avoid the rijs from the idols and avoid false speech.
What is the verse that was read or recited before this verse, the first that treats of food?
Side note: Were cattle unlawful before the verse above was 'revealed'?
More on food is listed in S 5 (112th in order of 'revelation').
S 5:3 Forbidden to you have been dead animals and blood and pork and what has been permitted to other than Allah and the strangled and the fatally struck and that which has had a fatal fall and the gored and what the wild animal has eaten except what you have slaughtered and what has been sacrificed on the nusub and that you seek division by divining arrows. That is fisq. Today those who have disbelieved have despaired of your religion so do not fear them but fear me. Today I have completed your religion for you and perfected my grace upon you and have approved Islam for you as a religion. So he who has been forced by starvation not inclining to sin, Allah is a forgiver, merciful.
We might also take a look at S 5:4
They ask you what has been permitted for them. Say: Permitted for you have been the good things and what you have taught of your hunting animals, trained; you teach them of what Allah has taught you. So eat of what they have caught for you. And mention Allah’s name over it and fear Allah. Allah is quick in account.
Were hunting animals taught about different foods?
S 5:5 Today have the good things been permitted for you and the food of those who were given the Book is permitted for you and your food is permitted for them. And the muhsanat of the believers and the muhsanat of those who were given the Book before you when you have given them their wages, fortified, not musafihun or takers of paramours. And he who disbelieves the faith, his work has failed and he in the hereafter is of the losers.
We might also ask why everything taught about food is absent from quran.
