What Tesco's ham looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 54 Tesco ham products with usable figures is 18.6g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 17.4g median for ham across every chain and brand in the database, which is 741 products.

47 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — most of them, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the five chains carrying enough ham to compare, Tesco has the strongest own-label range; SuperValu the weakest.

The best Tesco option here reaches 21.8g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole ham group gets.

Calories run from 82 to 285 per 100g across the Tesco ham range, a 3-fold spread, so “Tesco ham” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Tesco

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. Tesco Wafer Thin Brunswick Ham 125g tops the table at 21.8g of protein per 100 calories.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

Ham across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Tesco sells is the other half of the comparison.

A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.

For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the calorie app.

FAQ

How many ham products does Tesco have?

We track 54 Tesco ham products with full label figures. 54 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 47 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.

Is Tesco the best place to buy ham?

On protein per calorie alone, Tesco's median is 18.6g against 17.4g for ham across every chain and brand we track. That is one number out of several — price and taste are not in this database — but it is the one nobody prints on the shelf.
