Compounded dilema of healthy and safe foods on our plates; any end in sight

FDA Before that demonstration, the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) had quickly issued a public statement on the specific use of the chemical Ethemax in the plantain ripening case at the Madina market in Accra and confirmed that they were investigating the case.

The good, perhaps, of the viral application of chemical spraying on foods is definitely the escalation of the Regulator’s presence in our markets and its engagement in market surveillance and monitoring of the present and past alleged use of chemicals by vendors.

I sought to know if in view of reports in the media, they would take steps to prohibit open market sale of the chemical if allegedly, it has “a harmful hazard warning”.
