Animal-derived

Mechanically Separated Meat (MSM)
Bone-residue meat extracted by machine; it carries a risk of mixing between different animal species.
Why this is a critical point
MSM is a meat paste obtained by pressing the meat remaining on bones using high-pressure machinery, commonly used in cheap sausages and nuggets. The critical-point risk is not only the source species but also the possibility that the same production line handles both pork and non-pork without adequate cleaning between runs.
