Hormel Foods Corporation (NYSE: HRL) announces the donation of more than 99,000 cans of protein to America’s Second Harvest—The Nation’s Food Bank Network for the continued hunger relief of people around the nation.

The products—Hormel® chunk ham and Black Label® luncheon loaf—are shelf-stable, fully cooked and versatile. Hormel® chunk ham can be used to add protein and flavor to a variety of dishes, such as pasta dishes and salads or as a baked potato topper. Each 10-ounce can of Hormel® chunk ham contains five servings. Black Label® luncheon loaf is ideal for breakfast dishes, casseroles and sandwiches. Each 12-ounce can of Black Label® luncheon loaf contains six servings of ham.

“This ham donation should help families during the upcoming holiday season,” said Jeffrey M.
