<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> This is the traditional time of year when people start asking about hams. What I would like to know, is not necessarily which brands are acceptable, but which ingredients I must watch out for on the labels that may be a problem. I recently bought one that I felt I may have reacted to that had what I thought were acceptable ingredients. It had salt, brown sugar, sodium nitrite, sodium ethyrobate, (and one other chemical-sounding ingredient that I can't offhand recall) and was smoked. Do these sound like forbidden ingredients to anyone else? Joanne
