About BLACK FOREST HAM
Kroger Black Forest Ham is a cured deli meat product sold under the flagship Kroger private label brand of The Kroger Co., one of the largest US supermarket operators with stores across the country under names including Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, and Smith's. Black Forest ham is a German-style cured ham traditionally associated with the Black Forest region; commercial American versions, such as this product, are cured pork products flavored to replicate that style.
The ingredient declaration for this product is notable because it lists only the curing solution components rather than the base meat, which suggests the USDA dataset entry captures the brine/cure formulation rather than the complete product. The curing agents include water, dextrose, sodium lactate, salt, potassium chloride, sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. Sodium nitrite is a standard curing agent used to inhibit Clostridium botulinum and stabilize meat color; sodium erythorbate accelerates the curing reaction. Sodium phosphates retain moisture. Potassium chloride is used as a partial salt substitute. Dextrose and sugar are fermentable sugars included to moderate flavor.
Per 100 grams, this ham provides 107 calories with 17.86 grams of protein — a high-protein value — 1.79 grams of carbohydrates, and 2.68 grams of fat. The calorie density is relatively low given the protein content. This product contains no fiber. It is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets and contains sodium from multiple sources. Individuals on sodium-restricted diets should account for the multiple sodium-containing compounds in the curing mixture.
