        "content": "<p>The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has affirmed its commitment to a\nzero-tolerance principle regarding poisoning cases in the Free\nNutritious Meal (MBG) programme. This effort is deemed to require\nstrengthened services, supervision, monitoring, and collaboration among\nall involved parties.<\/p>\n<p>BGN Head Sudaryono stated that food safety is a non-negotiable core\nprinciple in the implementation of the MBG programme. He said that\nmeeting the community\u2019s nutritional needs must go hand in hand with\nensuring the safety of the food consumed by beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBGN continues to improve services, supervision, monitoring, and\ncollaboration from all parties so that the programme runs well, with\nzero tolerance for poisoning cases,\u201d Sudaryono said in an official\nstatement confirmed in Jakarta on Tuesday, 11 August 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Sudaryono emphasised that BGN is strengthening supervision of the MBG\nprogramme\u2019s implementation as part of preventive measures against food\nsafety risks. He noted that this supervision is not solely the\nresponsibility of the programme organisers. Maintaining food safety\nrequires the involvement of various elements directly connected to the\nMBG\u2019s execution, including organisers, schools, teachers, students, and\nother related parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod willing, we at BGN will continue to improve services,\nsupervision, monitoring, and collaboration from all parties so that this\nprogramme runs well,\u201d Sudaryono said. He assessed that food safety in\nthe MBG programme must be maintained collectively. Thus, the\nimplementation of the nutritional fulfilment programme does not only\nfocus on the food provided to beneficiaries but also on ensuring that\nthe food is safe for consumption.<\/p>\n<p>BGN also reminded students to observe regulations when consuming MBG\nmeals. One key point emphasised is ensuring that the food is consumed\nwithin the stipulated time limit. Compliance with these regulations is\nan important part of preventing unwanted food safety risks.\nAdditionally, students are reminded not to take MBG food home to be\nconsumed there. BGN considers that the condition and quality of the food\ncannot be guaranteed once it is outside the supervision of the programme\norganisers.<\/p>",
