% 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.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

There are 13 essential vitamins required for the body to work properly, which are categorised into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Vitamins have a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), provided by the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which vary by age and sex. The %DV indicates how much one serving contributes to the average recommended daily intake.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Ham, as a processed meat, frequently contains added nitrates and nitrites, according to Harvard Health, which notes that while chemically identical to nitrates in vegetables, processed meats lack the antioxidants that inhibit harmful nitrosamine formation. While high consumption of cured ham was not significantly associated with an increased or decreased risk of hypertension in a prospective cohort study of middle-aged adults, a high-meat diet including high-fat processed meat has been shown to lead to higher concentrations of HDL-cholesterol and apo A-I. Additionally, reformulated ham free from additives may offer potential oxidative and anti-inflammatory benefits by significantly reducing nitrate excretion and decreasing nitrification-related gut bacteria, as observed in a randomized clinical trial.
