Concerns are rising about the unsafe chemicals used on food in Ghana. Fruits are being treated with substances to make them ripen quickly.

Vegetables are also being polished with chemicals that are not safe for consumption.

This practice puts public health at risk, according to reports. The issue is part of a larger concern about pollution from illegal mining affecting water sources.

The safety of what Ghanaians eat and drink is under threat from these growing problems.

Authorities are looking into how widespread these harmful food practices are.

The aim is to protect citizens from eating contaminated food.

Further details on the investigation and any actions taken will be provided.
