Prime Fresh Black Forest Ham

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Smithfield Prime Fresh Black Forest Ham scores 37/100 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.

Smithfield Prime Fresh Black Forest Ham lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Dextrose, Cultured Corn Sugar, Salt and Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Smithfield Prime Fresh Black Forest 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.
