The nutritional value of Spam, the canned meat product, varies slightly depending on the specific variety (e.g., Classic, Lite, or Less Sodium). Below is the nutritional breakdown for a typical serving of Spam Classic (2 oz or 56g, about 1/6 of a 12 oz can), based on information from Hormel Foods and general web data:

• Calories: 180 kcal

• Total Fat: 16g (25% DV)

• Saturated Fat: 6g (30% DV)

• Trans Fat: 0g

• Cholesterol: 40mg (13% DV)

• Sodium: 790mg (33% DV)

• Total Carbohydrates: 1g (0% DV)

• Dietary Fiber: 0g

• Sugars: 0g

• Protein: 7g (14% DV)

• Vitamins and Minerals (approximate):

• Vitamin D: 0% DV

• Calcium: 0% DV

• Iron: 2% DV

• Potassium: 4% DV

Key Notes:

• Ingredients: Spam Classic is made from pork with ham, salt, water, modified potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite. Other varieties may include additional seasonings or ingredients (e.g., turkey in Spam Turkey).

• High Sodium: The high sodium content (33% of daily value per serving) makes it less ideal for those on low-sodium diets.

• Fat Content: A significant portion of the calories comes from fat, particularly saturated fat.

• Varieties:

• Spam Lite: Lower in fat (8g) and calories (110 kcal) per 56g serving, with 580mg sodium.

• Spam 25% Less Sodium: Reduced sodium (580mg) but similar fat and calorie content to Classic.

• Allergens: Contains no major allergens like gluten, dairy, or nuts, but check labels for specific varieties.

This data is based on Hormel’s official nutrition information and general web sources.
