  • Patent number: 7214403
    Abstract: A ham product and method for production thereof described herein separate bone-in hams into smaller pieces. Accordingly, pieces of bone-in ham, even those spirally-sliced, will be available to consumers in smaller portions. Unlike conventional methods, however, the ham product and method for production does not cut the femur bone longitudinally. As a result, one piece of the bone-in ham has substantially no bones. A method for separating a bone-in ham comprises the steps of providing a first separation through the ham to provide a first portion and a second portion, and providing a second separation through the first portion, wherein only one of the first separation or second separation is through a femur bone.
