Wegmans Italian Classics Prosciutto — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Wegmans Italian Classics Prosciutto by Wegmans Italian Classics MUNCH — score 100/90.

Two ingredients: pork and sea salt. This is old-world dry curing done properly, with no nitrites, sugars, or fillers. The only real knock is sodium, which is inherent to any dry-cured ham, so keep the portion honest.

Why this verdict

• Just two recognizable ingredients: ham and sea salt, with nothing artificial.
• No sodium nitrite, no sugar, no phosphates, no fillers, unusual for cured meat.
• Traditional dry-cured process rather than an industrially formed meat (NOVA 3).
• Sodium is high by nature of dry curing, so this is a small-portion food.
• About as clean as processed meat gets, which is why it clears the MUNCH bar.

Ingredients (2)

• Ham (pork leg) (safe) — Whole muscle pork, the only substantive ingredient.
• Sea Salt (safe) — Trace amount for flavor.
