What it is
Uncured ham is pork that has been preserved using natural curing agents like celery powder or celery juice, rather than synthetic ones. Water is often added to improve texture and juiciness.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use uncured ham as a protein source and for its savory flavor in products like deli meats, sandwiches, and breakfast items. The addition of water helps maintain moisture and tenderness during cooking and processing.
Health notes
Uncured ham is not subject to specific FDA regulations as a distinct additive. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates the labeling and processing of cured and uncured meats. Health organizations generally recommend limiting intake of processed meats due to associations with increased risk of certain chronic diseases, though evidence is mixed and often linked to overall dietary patterns.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. It is derived from pork, which is not one of the nine FDA major food allergens.
