Are Those Slimy Baby Carrots Safe To Actually Eat?

Baby carrots are packaged with extra water to help them stay moist, which makes them wet. Eventually, they can become mushy and slimy, which is a sign that they are going bad.

To confirm if your baby carrots are going bad, check for a foul smell and test their texture. A rubbery texture is okay, but anything softer than that should be thrown away.

When in doubt, it's best to be cautious. Generally, baby carrots are more likely to contain and carry bacteria than whole carrots, so it's better to avoid the slimy ones.
