% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Ham slice, as a cured pork product, is classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research in Cancer (IARC), linking it to colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, according to Healthline, due to the formation of carcinogens like PAHs, NOCs, and HAAs during processing and high-temperature reheating. Observational evidence also suggests that consuming processed meat elevates the risk of cardiovascular disease and is associated with chronic inflammation, heart disease, and diabetes, as noted by UCLA Health and Harvard Health, with a global study highlighting these increased health risks.
