Pulled deli ham from the fridge and noticed a rainbow-like shine on the slices. Is that normal?

How to Tell if Deli Ham Has Gone Bad

Since the rainbow shine isn’t a indicator of spoilage, rely on these actual signs of bad deli meat:

• Texture: A slimy, sticky, or tacky film on the surface.

• Smell: A sour, ammonia-like, or off-putting odor rather than a mild, salty/smoky aroma.

• Color: Gray, brown, or greenish dull discoloration (distinct from the shiny, light-reflecting rainbow effect).
