Okay People, There is NO BABY CARROT Scare..
Marco here! Calm down all my fellow carrot eaters, yes there are rumors all over the internet warning that baby carrots are a "danger to your family," that they're made from "deformed full-sized carrots", and that they're "soaked in chlorine."
Not true. Here's the deal. Your carrots are washed in a chlorine-water solution, but it's a safe amount approved by the FDA. (and you know how we trust the FDA) but the solution is tiny and it's done for safety. We don't want any food-born illness like e-coli or salmonella growing in our bags.
Baby carrots come from regular carrots, not "deformed" ones. The carrots are then cut down to cocktail size and spun in machines that peel and rotate them to give them that nice rounded shape everyone likes.
Next, they're washed before being sealed into snack bags. The only reason the carrots get that nasty, old, white wrinkly look is because they're dehydrated. Go ahead, eat your baby carrots. Just make sure they're organic! Beats a bag of GMO chips!
