Bleached Baby Carrots?

You may’ve gotten the email – baby carrots are “saturated” with bleach and are made from larger, rotten ones.  No and no – the FDA recommends that most precut veggies (including frozen) and supermarket whole veggies are rinsed in a wash that may include chlorine (less than is in your tap water) to prevent foodborne illness.  The “white blush” on the veggies after a few days is not bleach, it’s simply dehydration.  The babies are made from carrot roots with the same nutrients as all carrots, but organic is always a good idea.
