Keep in mind the bar for meat is also super low. With plants the assumption is that it’s safe to eat raw so it’s regulated that way even if you’re cooking the stuff. It’s not regulated that way for meat. Chicken is allowed to have 25% of samples positive for Salmonella and they don’t have power to enforce if it’s crossed. Hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized with Salmonella each year
Plants get recalled more than meat does, lmao

In any case, we should still very much be concerned about the environmental effects and ethical side too which does not change based on recalls
