SPAMŽ

A family of meat products that are very versatile and tasty, which can be served in a variety of ways, such as sandwich meats, salad ingredients or to make a meaty mac & cheese food dish. With eggs, cheese, or pineapples, sliced, diced, baked or fried, the combinations are endless for adding SPAMŽ to any meal, breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks.
The story of SPAMŽ luncheon meat began in 1936. Hormel Foods devised a recipe for a 12-ounce can of spiced ham. Jay C. Hormel was determined to find a brand name with a distinct identity that would set it apart from the competition. The company offered a $100 prize for the best name for the spiced ham product. The winner was Kenneth Daigneau, the actor brother of Hormel Vice President Ralph Daigneau. He created the new word by combining the “sp” from spiced ham with the “am” from ham.

Hormel Foods first produced SPAMŽ luncheon meat in 1937 in Austin, Minn. One of the first moderately priced, convenient and great-tasting food products on the market, SPAMŽ became America's favorite luncheon meat almost immediately

Through more than six decades, SPAMŽ has remained a contemporary product by consistently providing what consumers want - versatility, high quality and good taste. In 1962, the original 12-ounce SPAMŽ can was joined by a seven-ounce can for the convenience it provided small families and single people. Almost 10 years later, Hormel Foods developed SPAMŽ Hickory Smoked Flavored to lend a delicious, outdoor flavor to already great-tasting SPAMŽ Classic. In 1986, SPAMŽ Less Sodium entered the market for consumers concerned with sodium intake. SPAMŽ Lite was introduced in 1992, allowing SPAMŽ devotees to enjoy the great taste of SPAMŽ with reduced fat and sodium. And in 1999, Hormel Foods introduced SPAMŽ Oven Roasted Turkey. Featuring 100 percent white, lean turkey, it meets consumers' increased interest in foods that are light, nutritious, low fat and great tasting. Recently, Hormel Foods spiced things up by introducing SPAMŽ Hot & Spicy featuring TabascoŽ brand pepper sauce, to Southern and Southeastern U.S. supermarkets. Most recently, two limited-time-only seasonal flavors were introduced-- SPAMŽ With Cheese and SPAMŽ BBQ Flavored. Š 2005 Hormel Foods Corporation
