Government has seized and disposed-off 582 by 25 Kg bags of expired mealie meal and 77 by 25 Kg bags of bread flour from Olympic Milling outlet in Kapiri Mposhi district.
District Environmental Health Officer, Simeon Sikwiya says this was after alert Public Health Inspectors from Kapiri Mposhi District Health Office (DMO) stormed a named milling company premises after a tip off.
Mr. Sikwiya told ZANIS in an interview in Kapiri Mposhi yesterday that that the commodity was seized and consequently disposed off because they expired over a month ago and did not meet the standards for consumption as stipulated in the Food and Drugs Act CAP 303, regulation 214 of the laws of Zambia.
Mr. Sikwiya said the named Miller had stocked and sold the mealie meal and flour to unsuspecting customers despite noticing that it had expired.
“It is surprising that the trader continued to stock the same products even when customers returned them back and despite knowing that the products had gone bad,” Mr. Sikwiya said.
Kapiri Mposhi District Magistrate court issued the disposal order yesterday of the seized products that included 556 bags of Olympic Breakfast Meal, 26 bags of Olympic Roller Meal and 77 bags of bread flour.
The company’s management refused to comment on the matter by broadcast time.
I can’t believe I’m the first to comment on this thread. I want to thank the spirit of my late mother for standing by me to achieve this great feat. I also want to thank my siblings for their support on this endeavor. I also send my sincere appreciation to Airtel for making their network functional at the time I commented on this thread. And the biggest praise goes to almighty God for his protection and guidiance.
To the lusaka family I say shalom. It is never an easy thing to be FTC. Keep trying hard. You will surely get there.

Welcome to Africa where money is made off the wellbeing of others, what do you expect?You have Million dollar companies like Zambeef that sell you meat preserved with formaldehyde its proven they used that stuff and you don’t even penalise them, other companies will continue to do even worse because you haven’t set an example.In the end its the same fat corrupt minister who accepted the bribe to turn the other eye to Zambeef and other useless companies that is eating all those processed foods that will fall sick and go to South Africa for medical treatment to be attended by highly qualified Zambian doctors, ironic..I’m slowly getting disillussioned with these guys, execpt for the President Ba Sata whom I trust and love the others are useless creatures including that Guy Scott.
