Are you supposed to wash off bagged carrots before you eat them?!


Question: Are you supposed to wash off bagged carrots before you eat them?
We got some Bolthouse baby carrots and my boyfriend said your supposed to wash them off before you eat them but I ate some without washing them off because I've never heard of you having to wash them if they are bagged. They say ready to eat on the bag. Are you supposed to wash them off before eating them??

Answers:

I'd recommend you wash them, just to be safe..



That is hard...

Well if you boil them first (a.k.a. COOK THEM) it will be fine... because they are....... boiled.

However you should wash them before you eat them raw. I would like to get a law passed which bans people eating raw carrots.

Eating raw carrots is BAD.
1) They are unnaturally crunchy
2) They are a bad influence on children under the age of 7.

A 6 year old may think that their cousin, sister, grandmother and so on is a rabbit. Rather like when parents get to the till, hand over a bit of plastic, the lady saying 'would you like cashback?' and then the parents walking out the shop with 5 bags full of processed food.

The children bloody think that their parents get PAID for going shopping.



yes you wash all produce
do you remember a couple years ago with the recall of cilantro ?
what they found is that it came from mexico from a company that did not have good standards
and the workers in the fields were not provided close access to bathrooms and they would just urinate in the fields
you need to clean all produce..



If they say "ready to eat" then they are prewashed and you don't have to wash them but, to be safe, it doesn't hurt to soak them in water first, drain them and then serve them.



no , those baby ones are like peeled and desiccated to death.



yes, even if the bag is clean and the veggies looks very clean, you still need to clean them



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo



I would you dont know whos touched them before you
