I realize it might show up in the lunch meat style slices, but what I'm wondering about is a half ham, to be cooked and sliced. >> My understanding is that water packed ham's can contain milk without being on the label. I would call the company and ask them b4 eating them. I had problem with a turkey, when I called company they said it could contain milk, even though it wasn't on the label
