The process is hardly "soaking", but it's not uncommon for produce to be cleaned in a rinse of chlorine before packaging. This prevents bacterial groth. The amount used is perfectly harmless, but if you're concerned, a simple rinse will get rid of any unwanted chlorine.

What is the difference between baby carrots and regular carrots?

There are two kinds of baby carrots. The first are actual baby carrots. The second are the little whittled carrots we buy at the store. Baby carrots are the irregular shaped mature carrots that the markets wont buy. Because most of us have been conditioned that all carrots must look exactly alike the majority of carrots going to market were rejected and as a result went to waste and cost the farmers a lot of money. So one day Mike Yurosek from California got the idea to take the rejected carrots and bought some old machinery and used it to cut uniform sized carrots. These carrots are then washed in a water-and-chlorine bath. The government says this part is safe, but I'll stick to the cheaper full sized carrots.
