What is going on with Bolthouse Farms?

This is a good trick, you guys. I opened up my bag of Bolthouse Farms baby cut carrots to find half of a gigantic, rotting mutant carrot with the leafy green bits still on top.
So, my question is: were the quality assurance people asleep at the wheel here? Or, does one half of a giant, rotting mutant carrot provide more nutritional value than a dozen baby carrots do? Either way, the mutant carrot makes quite an impression.
I didn’t even know that baby carrots and giant carrots would get processed together. That’s like processing cocktail weenies with jumbo hot dogs. They aren’t even exactly the same product, so it leads me to wonder what else can get mixed into these little processing plants…? Maybe I’ll find a dead cockroach or something next time. I hope not, but the mutant carrot has opened up a lot of morbid possibilities here.
Oh, and also: these carrots taste like industrial soap 70% of the time. I guess it could be worse, right?

um, “baby carrots” are just cut regular carrots run through a tumbler to smooth off the edges, & most are then dipped in a bleach solution to get rid of bacteria so they won’t immediately start rotting.
have you contacted Bolthouse about this though? they do want to know if/when stuff like this happens, as it helps them fix any issues with quality control.
