There are serious worries about the safety of food in Ghana. Chemicals are being used to speed up how fruits ripen and to make vegetables look better.
This practice is making people fearful about what they are eating and drinking. The problem is affecting the nation's health.
Fruits that should ripen slowly are being forced to change color quickly with harmful chemicals.
Vegetables are also being polished with unsafe substances to give them a shiny appearance.
This situation is happening alongside pollution from illegal mining, known as galamsey, which is affecting water sources.
The combination of these issues means that food and water, which people need to live, are becoming increasingly unsafe.
Authorities are looking into these dangerous practices.
The use of these chemicals poses a significant risk to both the environment and public health.
