Here We Go: USDA Issues Public Health Alert for SPAM Meat
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for canned SPAM.
Hormel Foods Corp. Services LLC, the producer of the affected SPAM, informed the USDA that they had inadvertently shipped products that may not have been adequately processed.
The issue came to light when the firm itself reported the lapse in quality control, raising concerns about the effectiveness of internal monitoring systems. The affected SPAM was primarily stocked by H.E.B. in Texas, and as of now, no other retailers appear to have been impacted.
The SPAM in question was produced on August 17 and has a best-by date of August 2026. The lot code for the affected product is A08173,
