Canned meat is a shelf-stable food product made by preserving cooked or processed meats, such as beef, pork, chicken, or fish, in airtight cans. Originating as a solution for long-term food storage, canned meat has been a staple in various cuisines worldwide, often used in stews, sandwiches, or casseroles. Popular examples include corned beef, Spam, and canned tuna. Nutritionally, canned meat is a convenient source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, supporting muscle health and energy. However, it often contains added salt, preservatives, or fats, which can contribute to high sodium and saturated fat levels, raising concerns for heart health when consumed excessively. Low-sodium or reduced-fat options can be a healthier choice. Its long shelf life and minimal preparation make it ideal for emergencies or quick meals, but moderation and variety are recommended for a balanced diet.
