Density 23 · +1 vs Sausage & deli meats medianHam and cheese spread scores 23 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, a Low band that ranks it 28th of 60 among sausage and deli meats, just above the category median. It brings a strong 32% DV of protein along with 17% DV of calcium and 10% DV of vitamin A, courtesy of the cheese blended into the spread.
This is a spreadable deli product meant for crackers, a bagel, or a sandwich rather than eaten by the spoonful, with a tablespoon or two covering a slice of bread. It is high in sodium at 1200 mg per 100 g and high in saturated fat at 8.6 g per 100 g, so it works best as an occasional spread rather than a daily one.
