Ham Safety
A ham that is sold uncooked, but appears ready-to-eat, must be labeled as such, and must include cooking instructions on the label. Fresh hams must reach 160 degrees F to be safe. To prevent contamination of leftover cooked ham, reheat the meat to 165 degrees F. Previously cooked vacuum-packaged and spiral-cut hams are safe to eat cold.USDA: Ham and Food Safety-
