The find tonight at the supermarket was in the sandwich meat section of the deli:
Honey Ham and Water Product
I know ham usually says on it “water added”. But how much water do you have to force into the stuff to make it a “ham and water product”?
Not only did it make me want to go ultra-super-extreme-vegan, it made me want to go lie down and think about an empty blue sky for a while. Blrrgggh.
Ooooh… the whole truth in labeling laws are fun, eh?
Here’s one reference that’s pretty clear.
Alton Brown also did an episode on Ham where this was discussed, but I don’t think that there are transcripts anywhere.
