Common questions

Is SPAM Classic healthy?

SPAM Classic scores 69/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 7g protein and 0g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in SPAM Classic?

How many calories are in SPAM Classic?

180 kcal per serving, or 321 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores SPAM Classic on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
