Luncheon meat, canned

Canned luncheon meat is a processed meat product preserved in a sealed can. It mainly provides fat and protein. Per 100g, it contains 24g of fat, including 8.7g of saturated fat, and 13g of protein. Its salt content is 2.3g, which is worth noting when considering overall salt intake.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol, while a high salt intake can contribute to raised blood pressure. The fat and salt content of canned luncheon meat may therefore be relevant to people monitoring these in their diet. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
