I just recently (tonight) discovered that three cases (36 cans) of regular SPAM went bad. All cans bloated. Expiration date was SEP2014. Kept inside house.
Shown with a good can for comparison.

Damn...sorry, too late. Already out with the trash. We don't fool around with bloated cans.
ETA: If I get home before the trash truck gets here, I'll take pics. |

Expiration date was 9/14? Wouldn't you think Hormel would refund/replace their prematurely expired product?

I had issues with a can of Hormel corned beef hash, emailed their customer service, got a buttload of coupons for free products in response. Mr. Tigers, if it's not too late I'd yank it out of the trash and take a pic to back up your claim, then email the company. |

I had a couple of cans do that.
Was going to take em back because they were well within the expiration date. I just kept forgetting them and was afraid to feed to dogs so I trashed them. |

I always laugh when I hear the nay sayers when it comes to Spam. It's basically a chopped pork/ham loaf, and some folks make it out to be a terrible thing! I'm betting they likely say the same thing about MREs as well!
All foods of this nature can never be expected to be the same as the fresh cooked stuff. It's a case of live with it, or do without!

It's not particularly hot, but it definitely adds a subtle taste. ETA: We bought a can back with it had "Limited Edition" on the label. I e-mailed Hormel, they replied that they have decided to make it a regular flavor now.

It has been my experience the overwhelming majority of the people who say spam is disgusting or gross or whatever else have never even tried it. I found spam to be kind of mushy. Taylor ham is much better tasting and consistency as far as I'm concerned. It does't have the shelf life of Spam though. |

We want to buy whole loafs when it is on special.
Slice it up on the meat slicer and vacuum pack it in packages. Cheaper than buying prepackaged products. |

OP, were all 3 cases stored in the same place?
Maybe next to a heat source? I can see 1 can going bad, but 36 at the same time suggests there were other factors at work. |

Its not 1 million Scoville units hot but it does have a nice sproing to it once you bite into it. I like to dice it up, fry it with onions and add it to eggs. Rolled up inside a tortilla it makes a nice breakfast burrito. |

Spam is pretty good when done properly. Most people probably just think spam as in opening the can only to watch it make that sucking sound as it comes out of the can coated in the clear jelly substance then just eat as is... Gross..
In Hawaii the best way is called Spam "musubi" you get it at any grocery store or gas station in the morning. Kind of like the breakfast of champs. When prepared like that- it would be hard to say no. They also have spam on the Mcdonalds breakfast menu in Hawaii, if you are hardcore and into the spam eggs and rice breakfast platter

Black pepper Spam is good too, so is turkey Spam. Teryaki Spam is the best imho, you don't even have to fry it.
A whole case going bad, especially before the expiration data, is a big deal. Hormel would have been interested in that case because it should never happen. |
