Food and water safety in Ghana is becoming a serious concern. Pollution from galamsey activities and the use of unsafe chemicals now threaten the nation's food supply.
Fruits are being treated with chemicals to ripen them quickly.
Vegetables are also being polished with toxic substances to make them look fresh.
These practices are raising fears about the health of the people who consume these foods.
The problem extends to water sources, which are also becoming polluted.
This situation puts the entire food chain at risk.
Authorities are investigating the extent of chemical use and its impact.
Efforts are underway to ensure food sold across the country is safe for consumption.
