Eating meat mantra

Question

I heard from some brotherhood from Mahayana said Theravada also will do some chanting for eating meat. Is it true ?

I have only able to find the Mahayana Mantra but not Theravada info as below

As far as I understand, Theravada monastics will sometimes chant prior to eating for reflective purposes (i.e. to reinforce how they are suppose to appropriately observe and use their alms). Aside from that, Theravada Buddhism does not have any chants I have ever encountered that specifically involve meat eating.
