Smithfield Brown Sugar Spiral Sliced Ham vs Marketside Brown Sugar Spiral-Cut Ham

Buy the Marketside ham if you want a whole-muscle spiral-cut centerpiece that feeds a group; buy the Smithfield if you want a small, lean, pre-sliced pack for sandwiches and quick meals. Marketside is smoked longer, double glazed and rated 4.4 from over 24,000 ratings, so owners consistently call it moist and sweet-savory. Smithfield is 97% fat free with 14 g protein and no artificial ingredients, but its 24 oz pack is small and its ingredient list leans on water, dextrose and potassium lactate.

  • Choose the Smithfield if you want a lean, fully cooked boneless ham in a small pre-sliced pack for sandwiches and single meals.
  • Choose the Marketside if you are serving a holiday table and want a whole-muscle spiral-cut ham with a heavier brown sugar glaze.
