The 12-ounce truncated Corned Beef cans are still the same today with the twist key opening and two labels are available. These labels are specially die cut to follow the contour of the truncated cans. The Donald Cook’s label has a cut-out for the openings tab, the Famous Flavor has no hole and the tab needs to be pushed through the paper.

Donald Cook's Corned Beef was a brand of canned corned beef best known in the United States during World War II and subsequent years. This product was often used in military rations and as a convenient source of protein for the civilian population during times of scarcity. Canned corned beef, such as Donald Cook's Corned Beef, was particularly useful during the war years because it had a long shelf life, could be prepared quickly and was an important addition to the diet of both soldiers and civilians.
