Why are some of my carrots cracked?

The splits or cracks you’re seeing on your carrots are naturally occurring cosmetic issues and the carrots are still safe to consume. Carrots are brittle root vegetables and their coarse texture makes them prone to experiencing growth cracks which are often accentuated during the lifecycle of the carrot. The natural sugar content in carrots also makes them especially susceptible to splitting. Our quality and food safety teams work diligently to sort split carrots out before the packaging stage, however we’re not able to catch them all as carrots can split even after they’ve been packed.
