This is not preservation. This is poisoning.

While we cry over galamsey destroying lives, another silent killer is sitting on our plates.

Traders are applying formalin, a chemical used to preserve dead bodies to roasted salmon, tuna, and other fish, all in the name of keeping flies away and extending shelf life.

Ghanaians are unknowingly eating chemicals meant for corpses and then we wonder why people are battling unexplained chronic diseases, why people suddenly develop organ complications and why lives are cut short without clear answers.

Their only crime was eating food they trusted.

What makes this worse is that the authorities, including the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA Ghana) and other regulators in Ghana, are aware of these practices. They know where this is happening. Yet enforcement remains weak, invisible, or nonexistent.

Why do we treat public health like it doesn’t matter? If this happened in another country, arrests would be made. Names would be published. Businesses would be shut down. People would face prison sentences.

But here in Ghana, we normalize everything. We talk. We move on. And the poisoning continues.

This is wickedness. This is evil. This is murder in slow motion.

We need immediate arrests. Public prosecutions. Severe punishments. Let it serve as a warning to others who value profit over human life.

Enough silence. Enough negligence. Enough excuses. Ghanaians deserve safe food. This must stop. Now.
