There are growing worries about the safety of food sold and eaten in Ghana. Chemicals are being used to quickly ripen fruits and to make vegetables look better.
This practice is causing fear among the public about what they are consuming. The problem is leading to widespread concern for health.
Pollution from illegal mining activities known as galamsey is also making river water unsafe.
This contaminated water can then affect the food grown using it.
The overall situation means that the everyday items people rely on for survival are becoming increasingly hazardous.
