Kano Warns Fruit Sellers Against Chemical Ripening

The Kano State Consumer Protection Council has warned fruit sellers and citrus dealers against using chemicals or other substances to force fruits to ripen or make them look more appealing. The council issued the warning during inspections of fruit markets across the state. Officials said the exercise focuses on how fruits are stored, handled and sold before they reach consumers. The council said it would act against any seller found with fruits or substances that could endanger public health. Fruit sellers' representatives said they are also educating members to follow food-safety regulations and sell safe produce.
