A troubling trend has emerged among some vendors selling corn-dough in local markets of Kumasi and Accra, as reports indicate they are mixing the dough with flour to increase profits. A recent investigation by Ashantibiz has revealed that about 70% of consumers purchasing corn-dough have encountered the unexpected presence of bread-making flour in the products.
This alarming practice raises serious ethical concerns about food safety and poses potential health risks to unsuspecting customers. As the public becomes more aware of these developments, it is crucial for consumers to exercise caution when buying corn-dough. Inspecting products closely and opting for reputable sellers is advised to ensure the quality and safety of food items.
Local authorities are encouraged to take immediate action, conducting thorough investigations into these market practices to safeguard consumers against fraudulent activities. The community’s health and well-being depend on transparency and accountability in food sales.
