Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Original Lean Ham, Original scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.
