Come to Kissieman and see for yourself how banana are being ripen in 40 footer containers using this substance. And this has been going on around the gas filling station for over a decade now!

Carbide gas is Acetylene is (C2H2) and contains traces of Arsenic and Phosphorous, which are poisonous to the body. What can be used is Ethylene gas (C2H4), at a concentration of 100 ppm in a controlled environment. There is ethylene gas that is specifically prepared for ripening of fruits in this way.

This woman has said nothing and behaving like an ostrich. Every food that must be eaten ripe in Ghana is sprayed with chemicals to fasten the process - banana, tomatoes, mangoes, just name them! Where did the woman say the testing is going on and where is the education going on? If she's serious why didn't she give a number consumers must report to? Every food item on our markets are contaminated and not fit for human consumption. The good thing is that we eat with staff from the FDA from the same food basket.

@Go away thanks. That's exactly my point. One of the most incompetent sectors we have is the FDA. Instead of prosecuting those companies that sell just a mixture of water, sugar and flavour as drinks for mass consumption and apprehend those who sell inferior goods for the citizens, they are only sitting in those offices pretending nothing is going astray. The big question is the drinks or foods they are selling, can they sell those same products in Europe or even South Africa? Tweaaa
