The CDC did put out a warning about hand washing for kibble feeders... I think this isartially where quality control comes in and the amount of money spent on it. There is still risk..even with human food. That is unavodable. I think there are more types of pathogens possible in raw meat. Whether each pathogen is a concern is up to the owner.
If I thought my vet or doctor pcked foods or drugs based almost entirely on information from these companies, then I'd move on. Vets don't learn a ton about food in school, but they do see thousands of patients a year on many types of diets. And they tend to know which ones can be problematic...
So now it is not only getting percents of fat to organ meat to myscles meat figured out, but also making sure young puppies don't ear it. Not sure why that would matter if it is species appropriate. I'm just saying...while there probably are voting AVMA members that work for pet food companies, I think some are genuinely concerned as are many vets.
