Cooked Ham
Product Insights
Cooked Ham is a ready‑to‑eat, UK‑produced slice of pork marketed by Tesco, made from 98 % British pork and seasoned with sea salt and brown sugar. It falls in the processed meat family (PNNS group "Processed meat"), carries a Nutri‑Score of C and is classified as an ultra‑processed product (NOVA 4), offering high protein (21 g per 100 g) and low sugar, but it also contains a moderate amount of salt (1.5 g per 100 g) and several food‑additive compounds such as sodium nitrite, sodium ascorbate and triphosphates. Overall the ham is low in fat and saturated fat, provides more fiber than typical meats, yet the presence of additives and its processing level limit its health rating.
