SPAM® Family of Products
Product Description:
SPAM® family of products, conveniently packaged in pull-top cans, is made of just a few simple ingredients: ham, pork, sugar, salt, water and a little potato starch. The distinct savory and salty-sweet taste has been enjoyed by millions for generations, making it a pop culture icon that has stood the test of time. SPAM® luncheon meat was first produced in 1937. It was one of the first convenient, moderately priced and great tasting meat products on the market. Sales continue to expand nationally and internationally. Since 1937, more than 7 billion cans have been sold. It is sold on every continent except Antarctica and in more than 99 percent of U.S. grocery stores. In the U.S., three SPAM® Classic cans are consumed every second. More than 122 million SPAM® Classic cans are sold worldwide each year, 90 million in the U.S. alone. On a per capita basis, Hawaii, Alaska, Arkansas, Texas and Alabama are the heaviest SPAM™ consumers in the U.S., with Hawaii being the leader.
