Canned food brand Spam has announced the launch of a new maple syrup flavour variety.

The Hormel Foods owned brand has released the new flavour that is says combines their classic salty, savoury flavour with the sweetness of maple syrup.

Lisa Selk, VP of marketing for the Spam brand, said: “For 86 years, the Spam brand has introduced a unique variety of products, aligning our great flavours with consumer trends and feedback. 

“When recent research showed a resurgence of cooking breakfast at home and an unwavering consumption of maple products, we knew it was time to create Spam maple flavoured. 

“And as a permanent addition to our lineup, we can’t wait to see the culinary creations our fans cook up for breakfast and beyond.”

The maple syrup variety is the 11th different flavour from Spam, which included the launch of Figgy Pudding in November.

The new maple-flavoured Spam is available to purchase now in retailers across the US.
