About Bison
Bison is meat from an animal identified as bison. The catalogue name does not specify the cut, whether it is fresh or preserved, or how it has been prepared.
It may be sold as whole cuts or minced meat and used in a range of cooked foods. Colour, texture, flavour, and composition differ with the cut and processing, so the name does not support a more specific description of the product.
