Spam meat does not expire although it does have a best by date.
Still Spam meat can last several years past the best by date as long as it remains sealed.
In most cases, unopened spam lasts for around 2 to 5 years although it's still safe to eat after that time but may not be as tasty.
Once you open the tin can of Spam, you can store it in your fridge for around 7 to 10 days without worrying about it going stale.
Spam meat is made from pork with ham meat added (that counts as one), salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite.
Spam is a brand of canned cooked pork made by Hormel Foods Corporation.
The Spam meat was introduced by Hormel in 1937 and gained popularity worldwide after its use during World War II.
By 2003, Spam was sold in 41 countries on six continents and trademarked in over 100 countries.
The taste of SPAM is a salty, and slightly spicy, ham flavor.
And whether or not it tastes “good” varies drastically depending on who you ask.
People who grew up with it often find it to be fine, good, or even delightful.
Spam is a type of processed meat, and thus eating it may be associated with a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, COPD, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer.
The word Spam stands for Special Processed American Meat.
The Spam meat is also already cooked so you can eat it straight from the can although some people prefer to heat it up.
Spam is perfectly fine to eat straight from can.
And as far as frying up slices, they taste so much better than uncooked.
Try it fried with eggs or in a sandwich to make it tasty; some people find it can be nasty cold from can.
