Jeffrey M. Ettinger, chairman of the board, president and CEO at Hormel Foods, will be ringing The Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the SPAM Family of Products.

To help celebrate 75 years of the SPAM brand, the makers of SPAM products are launching its first ever spokescharacter, Sir Can A-Lot.

Hormel Foods Corp. is suing a Dutch company that has a package similar to Hormel's Spam product. Zwaneburd Food Group, which manufactures its “Perm” canned lunch meat in Cincinnati, Ohio, is accused of using a yellow-on-blue design that's “confusingly similar” to Spam's package design, reports the Associated Press.
