Are baby carrots soaked in chlorine?

Carrots are washed and hydrocooled in water containing a small amount of chlorine. This helps to keep the water sanitary and helps prevent the potential spread of harmful microorganisms. This is a normal practice in the produce industry and is recommended by the FDA. This practice is also approved for organic produce by both the USDA and our organic certifier, California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). The chlorine used in the water does not change the flavor of the carrot nor does it change its appearance.
