The directive follows concerns raised by traders during a stakeholder engagement involving the Assembly and traders from the Madina and Bohye markets. According to the Assembly, the traders expressed concern about the alleged use of chemicals to speed up the ripening of fruits and other farm produce sold to the public. The move forms part of efforts by the La Nkwantanang-Madina Municipal Assembly to protect consumers and ensure that food products sold within the municipality meet required safety standards. The Assembly is expected to work with relevant regulatory agencies and other stakeholders as investigations into the allegations begin.
