There is growing worry about people adding chemicals to food sold in Ghana. These chemicals are used to make fruits ripen faster and to make vegetables look shiny and fresh.
The chemicals used can be toxic. They make the food unsafe for people to eat and drink. This affects the health of citizens across the country.
The problem is highlighted by the use of chemicals to preserve food. This practice extends the shelf life of products but poses health risks.
The widespread use of these unsafe methods is causing fear. People are concerned about what they are consuming and the long-term effects on their health.
