For more than eight years, Hormel Foods and Project SPAMMY^® have been working with partners in Guatemala to fight malnutrition. Hormel Foods specifically designed and developed SPAMMY^®, a shelf-stable poultry product fortified with vitamins and minerals, to help malnourished children in Guatemala. Working with Food For The Poor and Caritas Arquidiocesana to distribute the product to family centers and orphanages, Hormel Foods has contributed more than 11 million cans of SPAMMY^® since the inception of the project.
