What does the term “water added” on the ham label mean?

0

Hams that return to their original weight are labeled “ham.” However, when ham returns to within 10 percent over the original weight, it is labeled “ham, water added”. The added moisture cannot exceed 10 percent of the weight of the fresh uncured ham. The same labeling regulation applies to picnic shoulders.
