SPAM is a canned processed pork and ham product packaged for long shelf life and easy storage. The fully cooked meat can be sliced and fried until crispy, cubed into stir-fries, added to casseroles, or used cold in sandwiches and salads. Ideal for quick meals, camping, or as an emergency pantry item, SPAM requires no refrigeration until opened. After opening, refrigerate and use within a few days according to packaging instructions.
