        "summary": "The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has clarified that it has not contracted with any producers for the sale of milk under the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG), following viral social media discussions about such products appearing in minimarkets. BGN officials emphasized that service units must purchase milk from local minimarkets or UMKM to empower local farmers, and urged the public to report any mislabelled products claiming affiliation with BGN or MBG. This addresses concerns over the misuse of government-branded nutritional aids intended for beneficiaries.",

Perhaps there are\nproducers trying to make their products sell, and then they are sold on\nthe market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Deputy Head of BGN, Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, when met at\nthe same location, emphasised that BGN has never produced milk in any\nform, let alone under the name of the MBG Programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe in MBG have never owned or made milk, no, never. BGN has never\nmade milk,\u201d said Nanik.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Nanik requested that the public who find milk products or\nothers in minimarkets or anywhere claiming to be from BGN or the MBG\nProgramme immediately report to the BGN call centre or complaint service\nat number 127.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, netizens widely discussed products called \u201cschool milk\u201d\nclaimed to be exclusively for the MBG programme being sold in\nminimarkets.
