You could infer that uncured hams are a healthier alternative. Many are labelled organic or natural.

Many meat processors believe that all deli meat should be labeled "cured," no matter which curing process is used, according to NAMI. " 'Uncured' and 'natural nitrates/nitrites' makes people think these meats are healthier, but they aren't," says CR's Vallaeys.

But they're not the healthiest option. Canned and prepackaged cold cuts are loaded with saturated fat, sodium and nitrates - all while being short on protein. The sliced-to-order meat you get at the deli counter can be a healthier option, but still contains more sodium than anything you'd make yourself.
