About COOKED HAM
Archer Farms Cooked Ham is a fully cooked, ready-to-eat deli ham product from Target's Archer Farms premium private label, positioned in the pepperoni, salami, and cold cuts category. The ingredients list is unusually short and transparent: the primary component is cured pork (ham), processed with water, salt, dextrose, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, sodium phosphates, and sugar at less than 2% individually. This minimal cure formulation reflects a clean-label approach within the cured meat category, with only essential curing and water-retention agents included and no fillers, binders, natural flavors, or carrageenan.
Sodium nitrite is the critical curing agent that inhibits Clostridium botulinum growth, stabilizes the characteristic pink color of cured meat, and contributes the distinctive cured-meat flavor. Sodium erythorbate is an accelerating curing aid that speeds the conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide, reducing residual nitrite levels in the finished product. Sodium phosphates aid in water retention and improve texture in the cooked ham. Dextrose provides a mild fermentation substrate during curing.
At 125 calories per 100 grams, this ham is a lean, low-fat protein source with 16.07g of protein, 4.46g of fat, and 1.79g of carbohydrates per 100g, with no dietary fiber. A 56-gram serving provides approximately 70 calories and 9g of protein. Allergens: none declared beyond pork itself, which is not an FDA top-14 allergen. Free from dairy, gluten, soy, and eggs. Archer Farms Cooked Ham is suited to sandwich building, charcuterie boards, breakfast plates, and meal prepping as a lean deli protein with a clean, short ingredient panel.
