Bananas

Some banana growers in China used ammonia solutions to speed up the growth. Sprinkling the ammonia solution on the green bananas as well as covering them in plastic wrap would accomplish this. After 3 days, these bananas would be ripe and turn yellow. However, this has the opposite effect, reducing the fruit’s shelf life and causing it to rot from the inside out.

Peaches

Chinese canned peaches enclosed twice the amount of lead allowed in food manufacturing, according to the Australian Institute for Consumer Protection. High levels of lead can cause brain damage, digestive problems, and reproductive system damage, in case you didn’t know. Children and pregnant women should avoid eating these infected fruits. Avoid peaches from China if you want to eat them but are concerned about your health.
