The Makers of the SPAM® Brand Unveil Sweet and Savory New Variety: SPAM® Maple Flavored

Tags
New variation marks first permanent addition to SPAM® flavor lineup since 2015

The makers of the SPAM® brand are today announcing the introduction of SPAM® maple flavored, bringing the brand’s family of varieties to 11 flavors. With its delicious combination of sweet and savory, SPAM® maple flavored ushers in a unique and mouthwatering addition to breakfast menus, outdoor barbeques and one-of-a-kind desserts.

The makers of the SPAM® brand created the new maple-flavored variety following an outpouring of fan-developed maple recipes and consumer insights and feedback. The variety unites sweet, natural maple flavoring with the savory goodness of SPAM® classic, giving fans a delicious and complementary addition to any meal.

“For 86 years, the SPAM® brand has introduced a unique variety of products, aligning our great flavors with consumer trends and feedback,” said Lisa Selk, vice president of marketing for the SPAM® brand. “When recent research showed a resurgence of cooking breakfast at home and an unwavering consumption of maple products, we knew it was time to create SPAM® maple flavored. And as a permanent addition to our lineup, we can’t wait to see the culinary creations our fans cook up for breakfast and beyond.”

SPAM® maple flavored can help kick up almost any recipe, like the SPAM® maple flavored waffle breakfast sandwich, available below:

Ingredients:

  • 1 (12-ounce) can SPAM® maple flavored, cut into eight slices
  • 4 fried eggs
  • 8 small frozen Belgian waffles, toasted
  • Maple syrup, if desired

Directions: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook slices of SPAM® maple flavored for 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Assemble sandwiches by dividing eggs among four waffles. Layer each with two SPAM® maple-flavored slices and top with remaining waffles. Serve with maple syrup, if desired, and enjoy!

SPAM® maple flavored breakfast burritos are another enticing breakfast option, and the enjoyment of SPAM® maple flavored doesn’t have to end with the first meal of the day. This fully cooked and shelf-stable product can be used for any occasion at any time, as evidenced by other inspired recipes like SPAM® maple flavored poutine and SPAM® maple flavored cowboy beans.
