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.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 9 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: As Meat Products and Dishes Supplement, 1996; and LGC, Survey of dietary oils and fats, 1981-1982.
