Confusing words about ham

Under "Hot smoking", it says:

"Hams and ham hocks are fully cooked once they are properly smoked, and they can be eaten as is without any further preparation."

...but this sentence can easily have more than one meaning. I'm pretty sure I know which meaning was intended, but with something like this it's better to check.

I suggest changing it to one of these:

"Proper hot-smoking of hams and ham hocks is already long enough and hot enough that it cooks them fully, and they can be eaten as is without any further preparation."

Or:

"After they smoke hams and ham hocks, producers always take the added step of cooking them, so that the finished product can be eaten as is without any further preparation." TooManyFingers (talk) 18:24, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Late reply: I went ahead and just removed the entire sentence as the article already states that hot-smoked foods are fully cooked. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 20:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
