squirrel
Squirrel
Squirrel denotes meat from an unspecified squirrel species, cut or processing state, encountered as an animal-derived food prepared and cooked as meat.
About Squirrel
Squirrel refers to the meat of a squirrel used as food, without specifying the species, cut, or processing state. The label identifies an animal-derived food category, but does not establish whether the item is fresh, frozen, cooked, or incorporated into a prepared product.
Where eaten, it is prepared and cooked as meat; appearance, texture, and flavour depend on the species, cut, and cooking method. The catalogue name does not support a particular recipe, origin, or product form. It should not be read as identifying a specific squirrel species or preparation.
