Virginia Ham
What You Should Know
You'd spot this packaged Virginia ham in the refrigerated lunch-meat aisle or deli section, ready for sandwiches, breakfast plates, or holiday sides. It gives a sweet-savory, comforting and slightly nostalgic vibe—think maple-glazed ham slices on a brunch platter. The ingredient list (added water, multiple sugars, salt and a listed 'natural flavor') and the ready-to-eat, restructured texture point to industrial processing consistent with ultra-processed products.
