'''Advanced meat recovery''' ('''AMR''') is a [[slaughterhouse]] deboning process by which the last traces of skeletal muscle [[meat]] are removed from animal bones after the [[primal cut]]s have been carved off manually. The machinery used in this process separates meat from bone by scraping, shaving, or pressing the meat from the bone without breaking or grinding the bone. AMR meat typically is used as an ingredient in products requiring further processing, such as [[hot dog]]s. Unlike [[mechanically separated meat]], AMR meat is comparable in appearance, texture, and composition to meat trimmings and similar meat products derived by hand.<ref name=EFSA-SO>{{cite journal |title=Scientific Opinion on the public health risks related to mechanically separated meat (MSM) derived from poultry and swine |journal=EFSA Journal |date=March 2013 |volume=11 |issue=3 |doi=10.2903/j.efsa.2013.3137|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name=NFM/>

In the US, products produced by advanced meat recovery machinery can be labeled using terms associated with hand-deboned product (i.e., "[[beef]]", "[[pork]]", "beef trimmings", etc.) [[USDA]] regulations for procurement of frozen fresh ground beef products state that "Beef that is mechanically separated from bone with automatic deboning systems, advanced lean (meat) recovery (AMR) systems or powered knives, will not be allowed".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mindfully.org/Food/2003/Irradiated-Beef-Schools-USDA30may03.htm |title=USDA Purchases of Ground Beef Items Frozen Technical Requirements Schedule – GB-2003 / USDA 29may03 |access-date=2009-10-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030608042601/http://www.mindfully.org/Food/2003/Irradiated-Beef-Schools-USDA30may03.htm |archive-date=2003-06-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The equivalent technology is known as "low pressure [[mechanically separated meat|mechanical meat separation]]" in the European Union, and its product governed as a subset of mechanically separated meat.<ref name=NFM>{{cite web |title=Mechanically separated meat and meat structure |url=https://www.newfoodmagazine.com/article/16998/mechanically-separated-meat-and-meat-structure/ |website=New Food Magazine |language=en}}</ref> The product was formerly known as desinewed meat (DSM).<ref name=BBC/>
