Well, actually, I think it's a brand of ham. Some are not cooked, some
are.

But does it say *everywhere* that it is cooked? How about this:

http://cooksham.com/cooking/portioned-or-half-ham

"Preheat oven to 325°F...cook for approximately 25 minutes per pound
until product center reaches 160°F."

Note the word "cook".

How about this one:

http://cooksham.com/cooking/spiral-sliced-ham

"heat at 275°F for approximately 12-15 minutes per pound"

Note that the word "cook" has been replaced with "heat". It's already
cooked.
