Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Oscar Mayer, Lean Boiled Ham scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 46% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.
