Chungjungone Luncheon Meat is a Korean-style canned ham made primarily from pork, mixed with spices and starch, then heat-sterilised in the can. It falls into a similar category as SPAM or corned beef in Europe, but is distinguished by its Korean spice blend, which gives it a stronger umami flavour and a notably smooth texture. It can be eaten straight from the can without cooking, or used in a wide range of Korean dishes including Kimchi Bokkeumbap, Kimchi-jjigae, and Gimbap. The product is manufactured in Denmark under the Chungjungone brand, a leading Korean food company.

Sodium nitrite (E250) is an EU-approved food additive widely used in processed meat products such as ham and sausages. It preserves the pink colour of the meat and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. It is also commonly found in European products such as bacon, salami, and prosciutto. Carrageenan (E407) is an EU-approved food additive derived from seaweed, used to maintain the smooth texture of the product. Both additives are permitted under EU food additive regulations and are declared on the EU label.
