Well-Known Luncheon Meat Products
  • SPAM (Hormel Foods) — most famous commercial luncheon meat worldwide
  • Prepared from minced pork + ham + salt + sugar + sodium nitrite + cereal filler
Distinguish Luncheon Meat from Similar Products
  • Luncheon meat → canned, pork + cereal, ready-to-eat
  • Meat loaves → ready-to-eat comminuted product from ground meat/emulsion; NOT necessarily pork+cereal or canned
  • Meat patties → ground meat filling for burger/sandwich
  • Meat nuggets → cuboidal pieces (4cm × 1.5cm × 1.5cm) cut from meat loaves
