What Is SPAM And What Is It Made Of, Anyway?
If you’ve ever peeked into a grocery store pantry or seen it in a classic recipe, you’ve probably come across SPAM — the iconic canned meat product that’s been around for over 80 years. But what exactly is SPAM, and what’s inside that mysterious can?
🥫 What Is SPAM?
SPAM is a brand of canned precooked meat made by Hormel Foods Corporation. Introduced in 1937, it quickly gained popularity due to its long shelf life, convenience, and versatility. Originally designed as an affordable protein source, SPAM became a staple during World War II for soldiers and civilians alike.
🥩 What’s Inside the Can?
Despite some myths and jokes about its ingredients, SPAM is primarily made from:
- Pork shoulder meat
- Ham (cured pork)
- Salt
- Water
- Sugar
- Sodium nitrite (a preservative to maintain color and prevent spoilage)
It contains no fillers or artificial preservatives beyond these. The meat is ground, mixed with the other ingredients, cooked, and then sealed in the can.
