Two children lost their lives on Sunday afternoon after consuming substandard food at a restaurant in the city’s Zamzama area.

According to SSP South Peer Muhammad Shah, a woman and her two children had consumed unhygienic food from the restaurant last night and the latter also purchased candies from a stall at a children’s play land in Defence Phase 4.

The two children were five and one-year-old.

The three fell ill early Sunday morning but arrived at the hospital at around 12 noon in a very critical condition, the SSP said, quoting hospital officials.

The mother is still under treatment but out of danger, hospital authorities said.

Shah further said that the eatery had been sealed and investigation into the incident was under way. Food samples from the eatery have been sent to the food authority for testing, he said.
