Jambon sec label rouge

This product is a French dry‑cured ham (Label Rouge) made from fresh pork, seasoned with salt and potassium nitrate, and sold in a plastic package. It belongs to the meat family, carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as a NOVA 3 processed product; it provides very high protein (28 g) and no sugars, but its salt (5.1 g) and saturated fat (6.6 g) are high relative to recommended intakes. While it offers a dense source of protein and traditional flavor, the elevated sodium and the presence of a nitrite preservative limit its suitability for low‑salt or health‑focused diets.
