Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Lower Sodium Ham scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 46% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
