SPAM contains 6 simple ingredients; Pork with ham, salt, water, potato starch, sugar and sodium nitrite. The original, timeless spiced ham that started it all back in 1937. Like a true original, this is the variety that has captured hearts and taste buds by consistently bringing deliciousness and creativity to a wide range of meals.
First, the pork and ham are pre-ground. Then, salt, sugar and the rest of the ingredients are added and mixed, to reach the desired temperature. From there, the mixture is moved over to the canning line, where it's filled into the familiar metal cans, 12 ounces at a time. Once filled, cans are conveyed to a closing machine where lids are applied through vacuum-sealing. Next, the cans are cooked and cooled for about three hours. At this point, they're nearly ready for enjoyment. But the cans can't leave naked. Labels are applied and then they're off to be cased, where they await distribution.
