Why would I advertise that I made the breading animal free, when the patty is made of meat?

To cash in on the plant-based trend and make $$$ for the same product you used to sell for $$. Beyond isn't, because veggie is their brand, but I have to read ingredient labels because I can't do legumes, so I've seen the weirdest shit before with off-brand stuff.

even if this were to be confusing, slap a โ€œveganโ€ label on the front, and now youโ€™re good.

Agreed. Also note that they're calling it "patties", so the quibble about whether or not they're "burgers" is irrelevant. It's just an example of how things can currently be confusing if you don't know your brands.
