What the score is made of

Four categories, weighted. Seed oils count three times as much as plastics or ultra-processing, so a poor seed-oil score pulls the overall number down hardest.

  • Seed oil3× weight50
  • Additives2× weight0
  • Plastics0.5× weight
  • NOVA0.5× weight0

Plastics has no ratings yet and count as 0 toward the overall score — an unproven category isn’t a free pass.

Honey Baked Ham's own ingredient database shows the hams and turkeys themselves are free of seed oils, but every one of them is cured with sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite and finished with a glaze of maltodextrin, modified food starch and natural flavoring, so there is no clean core order. Seed oils turn up the moment you leave the ham - the breads, the mayo, the fries and every dressing carry soybean or canola.

Rated from Honey Baked Ham's own ingredient database (nutritionix.com/honeybaked-ham/ingredient-search/premium, 253,291 bytes, 347 entries, 333 after excluding drink-named rows), read 2026-08-25. Seed oils: 141 of 333, and none of them are in the ham. Bone-In Ham, Boneless Ham, Carver Ham, both turkeys and the Sweet HBH Glaze are all clean. The oils are in the sandwich half - every bread (4 Inch Knot Roll, Baker's Roll, Bread White Old Fashioned) lists soybean oil, Chipotle Mayo is Duke's soybean mayonnaise, the fries are a soybean/canola/cottonseed/sunflower blend and every dressing lists soybean or canola. Additives: 224 of 333, and unavoidable - all four ham SKUs list sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite, and the glaze on every ham and turkey lists maltodextrin, modified food starch and natural flavoring. There is no clean core order here.
