Question: What makes my carrots turn white after some time!? Is it unhealthy!?
Answers:
When a baby carrot turns white they call this, “white blushing” and often times this “white blushing” causes the bags of carrots to pulled from the shelf and thrown away!. Consumer waste!. To prevent this consumer waste the carrots are then dipped in the chlorine!.

To date, white blush has been controlled primarily by washing freshly processed carrots with chilled water, usually in a hydro cooler, followed by refrigeration and/or by packaging of the freshly processed carrots in specialized containers, including some that maintain modified atmospheres within the containers!. Chlorine has also been added to the chilled water treatments for sanitation purposes, and primarily to control microbial bacteria growth on the processed carrots!. However, depending upon the above variables, the onset of white blush may only be delayed for a few days!. Therefore baby carrots tend to have a shorter shelf life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
