Ham Luncheon Meat

Ham Luncheon Meat is a canned/packaged processed pork product commonly used in sandwiches, breakfast dishes and quick cooked meals; it appears in many cuisines as a convenient ready-to-eat meat. It is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 18g of protein per 100 g, and supplies B12 and selenium that support energy metabolism. While convenient and protein-rich, Ham Luncheon Meat is an ultra-processed luncheon meat and is typically higher in added salt and some saturated fat compared with fresh, minimally processed meats, so it’s often chosen for convenience rather than as a daily dietary staple.
