Baby Carrots processing issue?

Ever wondered about those little carrots you buy in a plastic bag labeled “Baby Carrots” that seem to last forever? This was an interesting email I received, according to http://www.snopes.com/:

“The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for
IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc. The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy
in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots
which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots
- most people probably know this already. What you may not know and should
know is the following: Once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots
they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them
(this is the same chlorine used in your pool). Since they do not have
their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of
chlorine. You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your
refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots.
This is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health
at risk to have esthetically pleasing Vegetables? Chlorine is a very well-known
carcinogen, which causes Cancer.”

As I said, an interesting email I wanted to pass on.
