deboners
Skeleton removal workers
Deboners are workers or machines that remove bones from meat, poultry, or fish during food processing.
In industrial settings, mechanical deboners separate flesh from bone at high speed, while skilled workers called deboners use specialized knives to hand-debone cuts that require precision.
The plant employs dozens of deboners on the chicken processing line.
