% 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.

FAQ
Not really. The roasted pork cured ham has about ~7–10 g fat and ~2.6–3.5 g saturated fat, alongside ~19–26 g protein, so although it only has moderate fat, the level of saturated fat is quite high.
Per 1 cup, it provides 249 kcal and a very high 31.67 g protein, which can support fullness and make calorie control easier, since higher protein diets consistently improve satiety and can help preserve lean mass during weight loss. At the same time, the 2100 mg sodium is extremely high, which can increase water retention and make scale weight harder to interpret, even if body fat is not increasing.
Uncured ham is usually healthier. This cured ham contains 2100 mg sodium per cup, and that sodium load is the biggest nutritional drawback, whereas uncured or lower sodium ham is often better for blood pressure and cardiovascular health.
It depends. It contains 82.6 mg cholesterol and 4.37 g saturated fat, and cholesterol, speficially LDL cholesterol, is driven mostly by saturated fat. However, red meat shows modest LDL increase, at about 4.4mg/dL.
Yes. Due to the high amount of sodium (2100mg) which is about 91% of the daily value, the amount of sodium is significant enough to raise blood pressure. Conversely, lowering sodium also lowers blood pressure. That’s why salty cured meats can work against blood pressure control and hypertension.
