《Pleco》
(pork) luncheon meat
《Wenlin》
n. 〈loan〉 canned luncheon meat M:⁴hé/²kuài/piàn 盒/块/片
《规范词典》
名 用猪肉作原料制成的肉糜罐头食品。

Pleco call it "luncheon meat", Wenlin calls it "canned luncheon meat". I would just call it spam. According to Wikipedia 'By the early 1970s the name "Spam" became a genericized trademark, used to describe any canned meat product containing pork, such as pork luncheon meat.' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(food)). Luncheon meat doesn't have to be canned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunch_meat). The Chinese entry to 午餐肉 is linked to spam, not lunch meats, and the 百度百科 entry mentions "当Spam传入中国大陆之后,罐头制造商将Spam依Luncheon Meat翻译为午餐肉,成为午餐肉一词的由来。"
