Frying with plastic in the oil is a major no-no. When plastic is heated, it releases toxic chemicals like dioxins, furans, and microplastics into the oil, which can then get into your food. These chemicals are linked to serious health issues, including:
- Cancer risk
- Hormone disruption
- Neurological problems
- Reproductive issues
Plus, ingesting microplastics can cause physical harm and potentially lead to inflammation and other health concerns.
To avoid these risks, stick to heat-safe cooking materials like stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic pots and pans. Ditch the plastic, and you'll be frying safely .

Have you ever asked yourself why we leave our food in the hands of the poorest, mostly illiterate and sometimes even dirtiest people in Ghana? Look at those who grow our food. Even in Accra here, you can see them watering vegetable gardens with sewerage. And when they spray poisons and weedicides without wearing masks, do you expect them to worry about the health of the consumer?
Look at the chop bars and fufu pounders. Look at the places where kenkey or koko is made. Visit Agbogbloshie market after a heavy downpour. That's where many retailers make bulk purchases to sell to you in Cantonments and East Legon.
Plastic bag in plantain chips is just the tip of the iceberg. And it serves us right.

Many of them use plastic bags to cover rice and cassava while cooking to keep the heat. Others wrap wrap Ga kenkey and Mfantse dɔkon (wrap the plastic around the dough before wrapping the leaves around) before boiling the kenkey at very high temperatures for prolonged periods.
FDA (and possibly GSA) need to embark on serious mass education campaigns to educate Ghanaians on this and other common but unhealthy practices in Ghana. And then strict enforcement of the law must follow.

Simply put, polyethylene does not dissolve in cooking oil. If it indeed does, this will be a novel way of biodegrading plastics.

It is not about what the lady said or not. It's all about the practice which is dangerous to health. Read this: At frying temperatures, plastics start to thermally decompose.
Chemical decomposition when plastic bags are heated in oil
This releases toxic compounds such as:
Dioxins
Furans
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Styrene monomers (depending on the plastic)
These compounds are carcinogenic and harmful if inhaled or ingested.
If food is fried in the same oil, the toxins leach into the food, making it unsafe for consumption.

No one's advice will stick in her ears, and for that matter all others like her who do the same. Once she's convinced it is not wrong, her mind is made. Unless she's stopped completely by law enforcement, you have to post someone guard around her when she fries plantains in order arrest this selfish thought. This practice is here to stay.
Generally, selfish idiots selling foodstuff in Ghana have so many cheating ways that affect health of the public.
Now, the only foods I buy from sellers in Ghana are roasted corn, yam or plantains. They can put every nonsense in the food they cook including dead bodies' ground bones as juju to draw crowd, forgetting if they didn't cook well(If the food isn't tasty), no one would patronize them.

My friend, stop your foolishness. You don't understand Twi better than over 99% of all people reading/viewing this video.
What the semi-illiterate is saying was to challenge those who say that frying plantains with plastic bags causes the entire plastic to melt into the oil. And the illiterate woman was demonstrating it. But melting is not the real issue.
What that idiot did not know is that when you put plastic into very hot oil, it causes micro-plastics (very thin plastic particles) and toxins to dissolve into the oil. These particles cum toxins are very dangerous and deadly....
To demonstrate how dangerous placing plastic in , In Europe all manufactures of water filled in plastic bottles must indicate: 'Do not place in direct sunshine' on the bottle. This is because exposing the bottles to sunshine, causes toxins and microplastics into the water ....

She is showing that when she adds plastic to the oil, the plastic does not melt. That is why she showed the remnants of plastic to us after frying it in oil.
But melting is not the problem here. The real problem is the toxins and micro-plastics that dissolve into the oil.
If she was only debunking, she would have demonstrated WITHOUT PLANTAIN in the oil. Because I don't think this woman would go to the market, but oil and plantains; and 'destroy' them for experimental purposes. No, she is not a 'charity lab-technician'.
Scientifically, that plastic will definitely melt, because the temperature of boiling oil (around 300 deg. C) is more than 200 deg. C, which is the max temperature required to melt plastic. Some plastics even melt at as low as 105 Centigrade.

The summary of the video is that they don't use rubber to fry plantain chips. She said that she deliberately put the rubber in the oil to show the public that, even oil doesn't melt in oil so it can't be true that they use rubber. Unfortunately, the headline says something different from what the woman was trying to communicate. The written content too exempts the focal point of the woman's voice.

Why would she not feed her family with food fried in plastic- contaminated oil if she was ignorant because of lack of education?
She is typical of the mark of the devil that has taken over Nkrumah's Ghana. It started when leaders became treasonous by conspiring with foreign countries to overthrow a civilian government. Prior to that, the devil had occupied the minds and souls of the opposition parties willing to kill to get political power.
With each escalation of the work of the devil in Ghana, the good people of the nation allowed things to slide. Today the NPP party has become entrenched in anti-social behaviors and their followers have heeded to the "get rich quick or die trying" schemes spurred on by the "property seeking democracy" enshrined in the NPP manifesto.

Yes — when a plastic bag melts in hot oil, it can contaminate the oil and any food cooked in it in several ways. ⚠️
1. Melted plastic dissolving or dispersing in the oil
When plastic melts, parts of it can break into tiny pieces or sticky residue that mix with the oil.
• Small plastic particles can remain suspended in the oil.
• These particles may stick to food being fried.
• Even if you remove the big piece, microscopic fragments can remain.
2. Chemical compounds released by heat
When plastic is heated above its normal melting temperature, it can start to thermally degrade. This means it begins to break down chemically.
This can release:
• Plastic additives (plasticizers, stabilizers, dyes)
• Breakdown chemicals like aldehydes and hydrocarbons
• Smoke or fumes
Some of these substances can dissolve into the oil because cooking oil is good at absorbing organic chemicals.
3. Oil absorbing plastic smell and taste
Hot oil easily absorbs compounds from anything in it.
So melted plastic can cause:
• Strong burnt plastic smell
• Unpleasant chemical taste
• Off-flavors in fried food
Even a small amount can make the oil unusable for cooking.
4. Carbonized or burnt plastic residues
If the plastic stays in very hot oil, parts of it can burn and form black residues.
These residues can:
• Stick to the fryer or pot
• Attach to food
• Continue degrading the oil quality

The author of the article did a very bad job with the caption. Clearly, the content of both the article and the video are the same, but the headline is misleading. At no point in the video did the lady suggest that they fry plantain chips with plastics.
She was demonstrating the fact that plastic doesn't melt when it's placed in hot oil, hence, it's not even necessary to add it to the mix to change the texture of the plantain.
Please, before you comment, kindly watch the video critically without bias. Ignore the headline. Thank you!

Melting plastics (such as polythene bags or wrappers) into cooking oil releases harmful compounds, including dioxins, furans, phthalates, and heavy metals, which directly contaminate the food. Frying plastic in boiling oil is a dangerous, illegal, and highly toxic practice sometimes used by unethical food vendors to make fried foods, such as plantain chips appear crispier and last longer. If customers stop patronizing food vendors engaged in this illegal and hazardous practice they will be compelled to change the practice or go out of business. Meanwhile, which ever government department in charge of food safety in Ghana, should mount public information campaign to educate food vendors on this hazardous frying methods.

I just commented against the woman but I'm making a U turn after looking at the video again because of some few commenters saying the woman doesn't mean any harm.
It's true guys, let's try to understand her explanation from the video because the CAPTION IS MISLEADING: she's demonstrating that they NEVER EVER use rubber in frying contrary to SABOTUERS claiming they use it. Because adding it to the plantain does not enhance the plantain or benefit it in anyway so THEY THE PLANTAIN CHIP VENDORS NEVER EVER ADD IT TO THE OIL.
Now, we've learned that even if the rubber doesn't melt, at that hot temperature, particles of it still seeps into our food which makes putting rubber into our foods dangerous. This woman might not know this BUT her demonstration ONLY seeks to dispel the rumours that they add rubber to the frying because THEY NEVER DO THAT as it doesn't enhance the plantain chips in any shape or form. At first I thought she was crazy but she's saying adding rubber to the plantain is USELESS and that people are only trying to sabotage their work. I'd like to clarify that frying with a rubber or polythene is harmful to our health.

In reality, frying with plastic in the oil is a major no-no. When plastic is heated, it releases toxic chemi ...

Exactly. The lady only tried to prove to the public that if a plastic is put in the frying pan with plantain chips, it will have no effect and therefore no one will do it for any reason.
Indeed, lack of knowledge my people perished. She only thinks of her self gain of the bussiness she is involve in, but forget about the good health of the consumers when ingesting this method of frying chip into their belly ...

This woman must be arrested by FDA
Exactly. FDA must come out and condemn this behavior. They are holding back as if they work with public opinion instead of laid down standards for health and safety.
She must be arrested
this is serious, I thought the story behind rubber might not be true until this. no no no. plantain chips bye bye
Ignorant, yet had the gus to speak nonsense. You're putting your customers health risk. In other words trying to make money at the expense of their health. I urge all her customers to boycout her product so that she can eat i ...

Illiterate villager woman you better shut up and let the educated ones educates your stupidity. It's even dangerous to drink alcohol from plastic bottle, you're killing Ghanaians slowly and you need to be arrested.
The police should arrest this woman immediately.
The serious issue is that this eoman is not alone in this practice. I have reason to believe all the plantain chips sellers are doing the same.
Lack of knowledge makes my people perished. Literally what she is saying is, nothing wrong eating a plastic into your stomach. Despite it might melt with whatever it is fried with, once eating, the damage has been done. Even ...

We have so many useless institutions in Ghana, and FDA is their class captain
You are a fool.
The question is why do you use it¿???¿???
The Woman who fries Chips with Plastics should be educated. Does the law allows this practice? She should be educated to stop this practice and probably be prevented from her trade and arrested.
I am surprised this f00l has not been arrested. These are the silly idi0ts who sit on the front pews in church every Sunday as part of Women's Fellowship
The government should ban all planting chips until the system is sanitised
Such people should be taken to a laboratory to demonstrate to them what Happens When they use the Plastik to Gary the plantain
You are hiding your face and putting the woman and her business and life in danger
Wicked person----the woman frying the chips is ignorant of the dangers involved in her action going viral
No FDA in Ghana!!!.....
Every food seller should have a certificate, same way professionals have certificates to practice. Not every illiterate can prepare food and sell to the public
Such people need to be arrested and prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others. We take things for granted in this country too much.
The lady is demonstrating that it is not possible to add plastic to the oil.
She's debunking the notion that plastics are involved.
Poor presentation by the video man.
No Sir.
She is showing that when she adds plastic to the oil, the plastic does not melt. That is why she showed the remnants of plastic to us after frying it in oil.
But melting is not the problem here. The real problem ...

Why will you even put the rubber in this hot cooking oil. You have no idea of what you are doing.
Wicked woman
Ignorant woman

Hmmmm her business indeed, then they should keep the chips with their families and be eating. Even if you are not educated thus not means you should do certain things?
THE CHEMICALS IN THE PLASTIC WILL DEFINITELY GET IN THE OIL .. AND THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS .

I stopped eating plaintain chips long ago when Kumasi vendors started using palm oil to give the appearnce to ripeness to raw plaintain.
You are a fool. Palm oil is red because of betacarotene. There is nothing wrong in colouring plantain with palm oil.
Much of the deaths in Ghana related to Cancer ia from our food impoters and vendors.
If does not have any effect then stop using them period
Henceforth I stop buying plantain chips, be it at the supermarket or roadside. Killers, vampires, cocroaches.

stupid illiterates. where does one even start to try to educate this woman and her like?
She failed to tell us the reason for that. What happens if the plastic is not put in the oil ? We need to know the reason why the plastic is in there doing what to the oil or the plantain? Your reason doesn't add up.
If the plastic changes the texture of the plantains then it definitely affects the plantains we are eating. The problem is that my people are ignorant to the core.
She didn’t defend it, she was just making experimental for for the public to see
