Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Cooked Ham scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
