What is SPAM made of?
Finding out that SPAM is not the mystery meat laden with preservatives you might assume it is could come as a nice surprise.
Actually, there are just six ingredients in SPAM! All of them are listed on the brand’s website. They are: water, salt, sugar, sodium nitrite, potato starch, ham meat (which counts as one), and pork.
The majority of those are as basic as they get!
The only one that might raise eyebrows a little is the sodium nitrite, which is “a preservative to help retain freshness,” Schend explains. The website says that it is there to “uphold the meat’s high standard of quality.”
The ground pork and ham are combined with the remaining ingredients and left for 20 minutes to form SPAM.
The mixture is placed into vacuum-sealed cans after it reaches the appropriate temperature.
The cans are prepared for labeling after they are boiled and allowed to cool for three hours. And that’s the entirety of it!
