non-amenable, definition
non-amenable, which means they are not subject to the USDA- enforced federal regulations on meat. “Non-amenable” species as defined by USDA include bison, elk, deer, water buffalo, antelope, guinea pig, and rabbit. The cut-up parts of these species are not technically considered “meat” by the USDA. They are considered “animal tissue,” and are subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rather than USDA.
