About CUBED HAM
Kroger Cubed Ham is a processed, cured pork product from The Kroger Co.'s flagship Kroger private-label brand, classified in the pepperoni, salami, and cold cuts category. The product is sold as pre-cut cubed pieces of conventionally cured ham for use as a meal ingredient.
The primary ingredient is pork (implied, though not explicitly listed in this USDA entry format — the filing begins with the curing brine components). The curing system contains water, salt, sugar, potassium lactate (a sodium lactate alternative that functions as a flavor enhancer and antimicrobial), sodium phosphates (for moisture retention and texture), sodium diacetate (an antimicrobial and acidulant), sodium erythorbate (an ascorbic acid derivative that accelerates the curing process and stabilizes cured meat color), and sodium nitrite (the primary curing agent responsible for color, flavor, and pathogen inhibition in cured meat products). Sodium nitrite is a standard cured pork ingredient, though it generates nitrosamine compounds under certain conditions — a consideration documented in food science literature. Allergens: none listed.
Per 100 g, this product provides 107 calories, 14.29 g protein, 1.79 g carbohydrates, and 3.57 g fat, with no fiber. Protein content at 14.29 g per 100 g is substantial. Fat content is relatively low at 3.57 g per 100 g, consistent with a lean cut of pork. Calorie density is low-to-moderate.
Not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. Contains sodium nitrite. Suitable as a high-protein, low-fat meat ingredient for salads, omelets, and pasta dishes.
