Many foods in Ghana are being treated with dangerous chemicals.

These chemicals are used to make fruits ripen faster and to polish vegetables.

This practice is making the food Ghanaians eat unsafe.

The problem is linked to wider pollution, including from illegal mining operations that affect water sources.

Concerns are rising about the health impact of these contaminated food and water supplies.

People are worried about what they are forced to consume daily.

The widespread use of these unsafe methods has caused widespread fear.

Authorities are investigating these serious food safety violations across the country.
