The Quran

Preface

ذٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّم حُرُماتِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيرٌ لَهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ ۗ وَأُحِلَّت لَكُمُ الأَنعامُ إِلّا ما يُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم ۖ فَاجتَنِبُوا الرِّجسَ مِنَ الأَوثانِ وَاجتَنِبوا قَولَ الزّورِ

Yusuf Ali

Such (is the Pilgrimage): whoever honours the sacred rites of God, for him it is good in the Sight of his Lord. Lawful to you (for food in Pilgrimage) are cattle, except those mentioned to you¹ (as exception): but shun the abomination of idols, and shun the word that is false,-

The general food prohibitions will be found in 2:173, 5:4-5, and 6:121, 138- 146. They are meant for health and cleanliness, but the worst abominations to shun are those of false worship and false speech. Here the question is about food during Pilgrimage. Lawful meat but not game is allowed.
