Canned ham is cured pork that has been cooked and preserved in a sealed can. It mainly provides protein and fat, with very little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 17g of protein, 4.5g of fat, including 1.6g of saturated fat, and 3.7g of salt.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues and helps maintain muscle. The salt content of canned ham is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as eating too much salt can contribute to raised blood pressure. Its saturated fat content also contributes to overall dietary intake. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 8 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: As Meat Products and Dishes Supplement, 1996 and Fatty Acid Supplement, 1998.
