Yes, usually the processed meats are the ones you should be careful with. If you buy raw chicken, pork, beef, turkey, lamb, fish, shellfish (not imitation crab or something, but "real" meat), then they should be fine. If there are ingredients listed, you should still check them though. It's a 30 sec thing. 
I'm not sure I understand your question... But if a food contains "illegal" ingredients, then it is not allowed regardless of the number of carb it has per serving. As Dr. Atkins explained in "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" (2002), you should check the carb content as well as the list of ingredients.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
