Fair, but chicken having salmonella is so common it's not news. Veggies having salmonella is so uncommon it is news.
There's a big difference between the FDA limit of 15% of chicken being contaminated with salmonella (with the average from this article looking to be around 5%), and the once or twice a year events where more than 0% of a veggie is contaminated and it makes the news.
