How long will this M&S ham last?

I bought a precooked ham from M&S food to order but didn’t end up having it on Christmas Day. I just checked to see when it’s Use By date was and it doesn’t have one on the ham. It says check the box but the box was the brown cardboard the order arrived it and I threw it away. So any guesses on how long a precooked vacuum packed ham lasts? It’s not been opened. It’s the winter citrus spiced ham joint. Any help much appreciated!

Oh my husband just told me it was Tesco Finest food to order, not m&s! So I googled it and it says 1 week plus. So I’m all set.

Just to say OP- if you're heating it (rather than eating cold), make sure to check the cooked temperature. We bought a pre-cooked gammon from M&S and followed the instructions to cook it for 15 minutes. It measured 22 degrees after 15 mins when it needs to be 74'c for food safety reasons.

we had a precooked M&S ham too. (on bone, at least 40 slices)

It was at my Mums house and im not there anymore, so I cant double check but im pretty sure when I looked the date was 3rd January.
we collected it on xmas eve.
