What does AMR stand for?

In addition to enhanced testing and identification, the new rules remove all non-ambulatory cattle from the human food chain, prohibit Specified Risk Material from cattle over 30 months from entering the human food supply, strengthen rules for Advanced Meat Recovery (high-pressure systems) to further ensure potentially infective nerve tissue does not enter the human food supply, and bah the use of air-injection stunning devices on cattle during slaughter because blood can be sprayed.

facilities approved by the Mexican government that handle only animals under 30 months of age or that have acceptable segregation procedures; * Continue to ban beef from advanced meat recovery, mechanically deboned beef, beef trimmings or ground beef.

You can thank something called Advanced Meat Recovery (AMR) for that.

Consumer groups also want the USDA to ban the use of spinal columns and neck bones in advanced meat recovery systems, which strip beef from cattle bones.

The paper includes the following options: * Prohibiting the use of brain and spinal cord from specified cattle in human food; * Prohibiting the use of central nervous system tissues in boneless beef products, including meat from Advanced Meat Recovery (AMR) systems; and * Prohibiting the use of the vertebral column from certain categories of cattle, including downed animals, in the production of meat from AMR systems.
