To prevent contamination from other meat products, and from insects.

Cross-contamination of meats can pose a serious health issue. Plastic is non porous and prevents liquids and bacteria from coming into contact with the meat. It also slows down the rate at which the meat oxidises - turns pale and loses the 'fresh' look of good red meat.

However, once you get it home is shiuld be unwrapped and stored in a fridge for the short time between buying and cooking.

Without plastic wrap they may rise in a slightly uneven shape. (If you're rolling the dough into a sausage shape, then supposed to be wrapping it in plastic). They may also dry out during the rising, if you're supposed to be covering them with plastic wrap - in this case, you can just cover them with a damp teatowel. But they shouldn't be a failure due to lack of plastic wrap.
