I am very confused. Are we seeing same article? @Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world below also seemed to not see a direct quote from the article.

Here’s the part of the article describing the results that I see:

The result

Vegan patties came out on top, and it wasn’t particularly close:

1. Overall rating

   Seven out of ten plant-based patties rated “good.” Only three out of ten beef patties did.

   The three top-scoring burgers came from Aldi MyVay, Garden Gourmet, and Beyond — and they were all vegan.

   This is a dramatic reversal from the last time this test was run in 2021, when meat still held the edge. The improvement in plant-based products over just a few years has been remarkable.

2. Fats

   Vegan patties averaged 43% less fat and 20% fewer calories than their beef counterparts — and the fat they do contain skews toward the healthy, unsaturated kind, while beef patties lean heavily on saturated fat.

3. Taste

   Plant-based options scored better on average for seasoning, juiciness, and overall cooking results. Some beef patties, meanwhile, showed up with off-putting smells, flat flavors, and shelf-life issues.

4. Food safety

   Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were found in 40% of the beef patties tested. One contained genuinely pathogenic bacteria. The vegan patties? Zero contaminants.

5. Price

   The vegan patties were, on average, 20% cheaper than beef. And that’s before accounting for the massive government subsidies that artificially deflate the price of conventional meat. Without those subsidies, the gap would be even wider.
