I know we have some Spam affectionados here. More than 220,000 pounds of Spam and other canned meat products have been recalled after pieces of metal were reportedly found inside. Hormel Food Corp announced the recall of approximately 228,614 pounds of canned pork and chicken products, including Spam, on Saturday. The Nebraska-based company said the products may be contaminated with foreign matter, specifically pieces of metal, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said in a press release. According to health officials, the canned pork and chicken products were produced on February 8 through February 10, 2018. The products include 12-ounce metal cans containing SPAM Classic with a 'Best By' February 2021 date, and 12-ounce metal cans containing Hormel Foods Black-Label Luncheon Loaf with a Best By February 2021 date. On the bottom of potentially contaminated cans, consumers can find the establishment number 'EST. 199N', according to the FSIS. Most of the items were shipped throughout the United States and to Guam, but only the Luncheon Loaf was sent to Guam. The problem was discovered after the company received four consumer complaints stating that metal objects were found in the canned products. FSIS was notified on Friday. There have been reports of minor oral injuries associated with consumption of the products. FSIS has received no additional reports of injury or illness from consumption of the items. The agency said that anyone who may be concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers' food pantries. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Consumer Response, Hormel Foods, at (800) 523-4635. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...s-SPAM-recalled.html | ||

Great, so what are people in Hawaii and Guam to eat in the meantime? Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have the low Sodium Spam bought at Costco with the number EST 199, but no "N" on them. I am the only one in the house that eats it, it is a developed taste. The dog also likes it. Living the Dream | |||

I have to admit, I do have a can in my pantry. However, it looks like I am safe. Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | |||

When I read your headline I had hopes I would be reading about a mandatory recall of all SPAM emails for the past 20 years or a 1 dollar per email fine for Spam Emails that couldn't be recalled. Yeah, I know, a real pipe dream. However I do believe that Spammers should be considered the equivalent of Zombies and open season on hunting them down and delivering a telling Head Shot with a well balanced high strength aluminum Zombie Bat. I've stopped counting. | |||

I didn't read the article but think it's safe to assume the recall was due to someone actually opening a can and tasting the stuff.  | |||

220,000 pounds. If I do my math correctly thats 110 tons. In three days of manufacturing. In Nebraska. And I'm still waiting for normal saline and Dilaudid from a hurricane last year. Hey Baxter pharma, move to Nebraska, they get stuff done. Oh, my two cans are fine by the way.

Thank god! | |||

Indeed. It means only two, maybe three percent of consumers are affected. | |||

All my cans are safe. A good rye bread and strong cheese will dull the pain in consumption. Your favorite beer will aid in this process. | |||
