Identifying Bananas Ripened with Carbide

Bananas which are ripened naturally are dark yellow and there are mostly small brown/black spots here and there on the bananas with the stalks being black.

Bananas which are forced ripe with Carbide are lemon yellow and their stalks are green and moreover they are clear yellow without any black spots.
Also, those ripened with calcium carbide are soft and have good peel/skin colour but poor in flavour. They also have a shorter shelf-life.

Might a similar technology be employed in oranges. Some have a very smooth clean look and taste like lemons.
