The answer

What you are suffering from is blameworthy waswasa (whispering from Satan), not praiseworthy piety. Abandoning what is known with certainty to be permissible due to delusions is a deception from Satan. Therefore, do not avoid any foods or anything else unless it becomes clear to you with certainty that they contain what Allah has forbidden. It is advisable to consult the counseling section on the website and a psychiatrist.
