Organic carrots bought today at While Foods - okay to eat?

[Anonymous]

Would it be silly to eat carrots bought today at WF? Well past the recall but I still feel a little nervous.

My husband refused to eat ours….which I bought at Trader Joe’s! (we usually shop at WF). But he had just read about the recall. When I was checking out at TJs I noticed they had several recalls posted! So I have been trying to be better about washing produce even if it labeled ready to eat.

The recalled whole and baby carrots should no longer be available for purchase in stores, but consumers may have them in their fridges or freezers, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

With a recall like this they sometimes recall subsequent batches, or expand the recall, so I plan to avoid for a couple weeks.

Just wash them. It's not rocket science. Fecal bacteria washes off. It's present on the majority of fresh foods picked by humans.

From what I’ve read some pathogens are baked into the vegetables because they grew in tainted soil. There’s no washing that off.

Source? That's sounds ridiculous but will give you the benefit of the doubt if you provide something concrete.
As for contaminated soils, you probably don't want to look up farming methods used in Mexico, Brazil, India, etc. I remember seeing human liquified feces put on vegetable crops as a kid, raw, not cooked. Still a common practice today.
