Why is Jamón Cocido Extra classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The ham is made from pork that is cured, cooked and combined with added salt, dextrose, sodium erythorbate (E316) and sodium nitrite (E250); these steps and additives place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.
