on sliced ham can certainly be surprising, but the effect is often caused by the interaction of light with the meat’s muscle fibers. It does not automatically mean the ham is spoiled.

The next time you notice a rainbow sheen on your ham, remember that it may be a natural optical effect—but never ignore signs that the food may be unsafe.Try New Foods
