CJ CheilJedang Launches High-Protein 'Spam Dakgaseumsal'

CJ CheilJedang is launching Spam made from chicken breast in line with the health-conscious trend of high-protein and low-calorie products. This is the first chicken breast product among Spam canned hams sold in 48 countries worldwide.

On the 26th, CJ CheilJedang announced the release of its new product, ‘Spam Chicken Breast.’ The company plans to satisfy consumers who want both taste and health, as well as attract customers who find traditional pork canned ham burdensome.

The newly introduced Spam Chicken Breast is a high-protein product that preserves the unique taste of Spam. It combines protein-rich chicken breast, chewy chicken thigh meat, and savory chicken skin in an optimal ratio to deliver Spam’s signature soft and elastic texture and flavor.

In particular, the protein content is 17g per 100g, allowing one 200g can to provide 60% of the daily nutritional intake standard. The calorie and fat content are also low, making it relatively easy to enjoy without guilt. Additionally, CJ CheilJedang applied its innovative technology, using a low-temperature aging process for over 13 hours to eliminate the chicken’s characteristic gamey taste while maximizing the mild flavor of chicken breast.

A CJ CheilJedang representative said, “As the number one canned ham brand in Korea, we are introducing a chicken breast product that preserves the differentiated taste quality of Spam based on our unparalleled technology and know-how accumulated over the years. We will continue to strive to offer various products that meet consumer needs and expectations.”
