Deli Shaved Black Forest Smoked Ham

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 7 ingredients to avoid

H-E-B Deli Shaved Black Forest Smoked Ham scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

H-E-B Deli Shaved Black Forest Smoked Ham lists 12 ingredients, starting with Pork Bellies Cured With Water, Salt, Potassium Lactate, Sodium Phosphate and Sodium Diacetate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 H-E-B Deli Shaved Black Forest Smoked Ham scores worse than most deli & cured meats we have scored. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Simply Nature Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs at 100/100.
