Deli Meat 1 article

Deli meat refers to ready-to-eat sliced meat such as turkey, ham and roast beef sold from a deli counter or in refrigerated packages. It is commonly used in sandwiches and wraps, with products ranging from simply cooked meats to cured varieties made with additional seasonings or preservatives. Sodium is often an important label difference, as are serving size and the presence of nitrites or nitrates when used. Slice thickness, meat type and curing method help distinguish products that otherwise look similar in the deli case.
