Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Sodium Nitrate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

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.
