Cooked Ham

Cooked Ham appears in 24 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.

What the data can answer

Cooked Ham appears in 24 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.

What this page can and cannot answer

Audit the co-occurring flags first

87.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Cooked Ham as the trigger. Open records such as Burritos; Chicken Cordon Bleu with Roasted baby potatoes; Egge & Ham Biscuit Bites and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 79.2/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 35% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

87.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 22 of 23 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.

Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
