Bananas
Some banana growers in China employ ammonia treatments to speed up the ripening process. After being treated with ammonia solution, the green bananas are covered in plastic wrap. The bananas are ripe and yellow three days later. However, this reduces the shelf life of the fruits, causing them to rot from the inside out. As a result, eating bananas imported from China is strongly discouraged.

Peaches
The Institute for Consumer Protection in Australia discovered in 2014 that Chinese canned peaches contained double the level of lead allowed in food manufacture. Lead poisoning can harm the brain, digestive system, and reproductive system. Such infected fruits should be avoided by pregnant women and children. Peaches imported from China should be avoided at all costs if you want to be safe.
