A tray of assorted cold cuts.

Cold cuts are cheeses or precooked or cured meat, often sausages or meat loaves, that are sliced and usually served cold on sandwiches or on party trays. They can be bought pre-sliced in vacuum packs at a supermarket or grocery store, or they can be purchased at a delicatessen or deli counter, where they might be sliced to order. Most pre-sliced cold cuts are higher in fat and sodium than those that are sliced to order.

Cold cuts are also known as lunch meats, luncheon meats, sandwich meats, cooked meats, sliced meats and cold meats. In commonwealth countries and the UK, luncheon meat can refer specifically to Spam.
