The popularity of Korean cuisine continues to
drive new flavor innovation
AUSTIN,
Minn., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The makers
of the SPAM® brand continue to draw inspiration
from foods and flavors around the world with the launch of
SPAM® Gochujang flavored. Fans can now find this
limited-edition variety in an eight-pack exclusively at Costco
Wholesale Warehouses, while supplies last.
Inspired by the popular Korean condiment, this flavor combines
spicy, sweet, smoky and umami, making it a perfect addition to any
occasion. Use it in more traditional recipes like kimbap, so-tteok
so-tteok, or budae jjigae or put a flavorful twist on your musubi,
SPAM® and eggs, or ramen.

ingredient in Korean cuisine.

SPAM® brand, we wanted to create our very own
SPAM® Gochujang flavored," said Jennesa Kinscher,
senior brand manager for the SPAM® brand. "This
can packs an approachable heat while still providing the
versatility and convenience we all love about SPAM®
products."
