Bananas
Some banana producers in China used ammonia solutions to hasten the process of ripening bananas. To do this, they would spray the green bananas with the ammonia solution and wrap them in plastic wrap. After three days, these bananas would be ripe and would turn yellow. However, this does more harm than good as it shortens the fruit’s shelf life and the fruit would start rotting from the inside.

Peaches
The Institute for Consumer Protection in Australia found in 2014 that Chinese canned peaches contained twice the amount of lead allowed in food production. In case you didn’t know, high levels of lead can lead to brain damage, problems with digestion, as well as damaging the reproductive system. Children, as well as pregnant women, should avoid these contaminated fruits. If you want to eat peaches but want to be safe, steer away from peaches that came from China.
