What about [this product](http://www.spam.com/products/ovenroastedturkey.aspx)? I understand that [turkey has been considered kosher for some time now](http://judaism.about.com/b/2009/11/25/is-turkey-kosher.htm) and even [considered halal](http://mideastfood.about.com/od/middleeasternfood101/a/halal_turkey.htm)! ---

I have to admit, I didn’t know about turkey SPAM. I have no idea if this particular product is kosher or halal. I don’t know if I’d buy it, either. Well, I DO buy that canned chicken sometimes, because it’s handy to have in the cupboard for emergencies. If the power goes out, that chicken can be eaten as is.
