The widespread use of these toxic chemicals is causing fear and anger among citizens.
Authorities are aware of the risks and are working to address the issue.
The use of chemicals in food production is a serious concern for the health of everyone in Ghana.
Investigation into the sources and spread of these adulterated foods is ongoing.
