TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF HUNGRY LION CHILANGA OVER PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES
March 10, 2025
This serves to inform the public that Hungry Lion Chilanga has been temporarily closed following public health inspections conducted on 4th February 2025.
Food and water samples collected from the outlet were analyzed by UTH Food and Drugs Laboratory, and the results revealed:
• Faecal contamination of the water used in food preparation.
• Presence of Staphylococcus aureus in cooked chicken, indicating contamination.
In light of these findings and in the interest of public health and safety, the outlet shall remain closed until:
• A proper water treatment system is put in place.
• The safety of the water is confirmed through further laboratory testing.
We urge the public to take note of this closure and assure you that necessary measures are being enforced to protect consumers.

The complete information is needed here. where did the faecal matter come from? is it only hungry lion using that source of water or even the community around. Shade more light please. We are all concerned now.
You think cholera loving Zambians will give a hoot about this? They will be hungrily awaiting the clearance. More junk food for a junk nation!
The outlet was closed 4th Feb 2025 and AFTER a month this is when the Public is being informed?
This is some what dereliction on the Council’s part in public awareness. Local Government please step in. Who ever is the Public Health liason at Local Government needs to do an on site visit. As the commentor Chuma suggests, this could be a bigger problem than suggested here. Ba Reporter please do the Public a favour and follow up on the issue.
Our Public officials are a let down, this shows ineptitude in ones responisiblity and a lack of concern for the lives of the residents in Chilanga. And what could be a bigger problem.
The Zambian market has generally become a dumping ground for substandard products,from electrical appliances,fixtures to motor vehicle spare parts and now food,even in super retail stores
