    A Riemannian product of two 2-dimensional space forms of constant curvature admits two different \(\text{Spin}^{\text{c}}\) structures that carry parallel spinor fields. (A \(\text{Spin}^{\text{c}}\) structure is a complex analog of a spinor structure.) The main result of this paper is that the restrictions of the two spinor fields to a hypersurface in such a product characterize the hypersurface. Corollaries are that totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a product of two space forms of the same curvature are of constant mean curvature, and that totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a product of two space forms of the different curvature, which also have a local product structure, are also of constant mean curvature.
