        "summary": "The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has suspended operations of 1,256 Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) in eastern Indonesia effective 1 April 2026 due to their failure to obtain Hygiene and Sanitation Certificates (SLHS) and Wastewater Treatment Installations (IPAL). This action aims to ensure compliance with food safety and waste management standards to protect the health of beneficiaries under the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG). BGN urges the affected units to promptly rectify the issues and apply for verification to resume operations, while also warning against severe violations like excessive markups on meal costs.",
        "content": "<p>The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has once again taken firm action\nby temporarily suspending the operations of 1,256 Nutrition Fulfilment\nService Units (SPPG) in eastern Indonesia effective 1 April 2026. Rudi\nSetiawan, Director of Monitoring and Regional Supervision III at BGN,\nstated that the measure was implemented because the SPPG have not\nregistered for Hygiene and Sanitation Certificates (SLHS) and do not\npossess Wastewater Treatment Installations (IPAL). \u201cWe want to ensure\nthat all SPPG truly meet the standards, both in terms of food safety and\nwaste management. This is crucial to protect the health of the\nbeneficiaries,\u201d Rudi said in Jakarta on Tuesday. According to him,\npossession of SLHS and IPAL is an absolute requirement that all SPPG\nmust fulfil to guarantee food safety and maintain environmental hygiene\nstandards in implementing the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG).\nRudi also emphasised that BGN continues to conduct regular monitoring\nand evaluation. SPPG that have met all requirements can resume\noperations after undergoing a verification process. \u201cWe encourage the\nsuspended SPPG to immediately make improvements and complete the\nrequirements. After that, they can reapply for verification to operate\nagain,\u201d he said. Previously, BGN also reminded all SPPG to implement the\nMBG programme in anticipation of the simultaneous resumption of the\nnutrition enhancement programme today. \u201cPartners who engage in\noutrageous markups and pressure SPPG heads, nutrition supervisors, and\nfinancial supervisors will be requested by the deputy for monitoring and\nsupervision to be suspended without incentives as it constitutes a\nserious violation,\u201d she said. Nanik reiterated that the budget per MBG\nportion is Rp8,000-10,000. Markups on raw materials not only harm the\nprogramme but also undermine the primary goal of providing nutritional\nservices to the community. According to her, partners who have received\nincentives should work according to the rules, rather than seeking\nexcessive profits.<\/p>",
