newsin2mins A viral video has sparked fresh concerns over food adulteration after it showed a man ripening green bananas using chemicals that turned them bright yellow in just seconds. The clip highlights a long-debated issue about how fruits and vegetables are often treated before reaching consumers. Reports suggest that many vendors use calcium carbide or ethylene-releasing agents to accelerate the ripening process. Calcium carbide, in particular, reacts with moisture to release acetylene gas, which mimics the natural ripening agent ethylene. While it helps fruits achieve a uniform yellow appearance quickly, experts warn that its use is unsafe. Traces of the chemical may remain on the fruit’s surface, and regular consumption has been linked to health concerns such as nausea, dizziness, and in severe cases, neurological problems. Food safety authorities in India and other countries have banned the use of calcium carbide, yet it continues to be used in some markets due to its low cost and immediate results. On the other hand, ethylene gas is permitted in controlled quantities, but misuse can still compromise the nutritional value of fruits. The viral clip has once again raised the pressing question—what foods are truly natural today? From milk and vegetables to fruits and even packaged goods, adulteration has become a common challenge, leaving consumers worried about the safety of what they eat daily. As conversations continue, one thing is certain: this video has forced people to think twice about the fruits on their table. Liked this post?
