This is more of a supply issue than anything else, not a meat issue. This can happen to really any product. It might be an argument for raw food diets, where you can visibly see the product every time like peas and corn, and generally yes vegetarian/vegan diets will have more of these types of food in them, but sometimes even if it's not meat you have no idea.

Like the one time I ordered loose leaf tea and ended up with a bag a quarter full of tobacco. I guess steeping tobacco doesn't get you nicotine because I didn't realize it until half way through the small bag. Then again, I might not have hit the tobacco yet, a large portion of it was definitely black tea.
