Allergies are to specific proteins, or sub-sections thereof.

So the only question for the pork-allergic person is "does my immune system take offense to any of the pork proteins which they put into this soya bean?".

(Well, okay - if "no" to that first question, then you still may want to ask "is my immune system going to start taking offense to what is in this soya bean?", and "might they suddenly change which pork proteins are in the beans, blindsiding me?".)
