About Luncheon meat, pork, beef

Cold cuts, also called lunch meats, deli meats, or sandwich meats, are precooked or cured meats sliced thin and served cold, the backbone of the everyday sandwich. The category runs from roasted turkey and chicken breast to ham, roast beef, salami, bologna, pastrami, and mortadella, sold sliced fresh at the deli counter or prepackaged in the refrigerated aisle. They deliver protein and B vitamins, but many are high in sodium and some contain added nitrites used in curing, so nutrition-minded shoppers often reach for lower-sodium or uncured options and leaner cuts like turkey.

Beyond sandwiches, cold cuts star on charcuterie and antipasto boards, in wraps, and rolled up as quick snacks. Keep them well chilled, seal opened packages tightly, and use deli-sliced meats within three to five days for the best flavor and food safety.
