What it is

Cooked ham with natural juices is a pork product that has been cured and cooked. The 'natural juices' refer to the moisture retained in the ham during processing, which can include added water, salt, and other curing ingredients. It is typically sold pre-cooked and ready to eat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cooked ham as a protein source and flavor ingredient in a variety of prepared foods. Its savory taste and tender texture make it popular in sandwiches, pizzas, appetizers, and salads. It provides a meaty component that is convenient for consumers.

Health notes

Cooked ham is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and essential nutrients. However, processed meats like ham can be high in sodium and nitrates, which are linked to health concerns in some studies. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen, meaning there is sufficient evidence that it causes cancer in humans, primarily related to colorectal cancer. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food additives used in curing and processing, but the ham itself is regulated as a meat product.

Allergen info

Cooked ham is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
