This action involves one unit lacking a nutrition supervisor, four linked to potential poisoning in the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, and three with substandard infrastructure, with lab samples under central analysis. The suspensions aim to enhance overall service quality, with BGN planning expansions in 2025 and quality improvements in 2026, amid evaluations of Ramadan distributions.",

BGN Regional Coordinator for\nTulungagung, Sebrina Mahardika, stated in Tulungagung on Sunday that the\ntemporary suspension is part of addressing and evaluating alleged\nviolations, including suspected food poisoning cases and facility\nunreadiness. \u201cThere are currently 116 SPPG kitchens in Tulungagung, but\neight of them have been temporarily suspended because they do not meet\nthe standards,\u201d she said. She explained that the eight units consist of\none SPPG without a nutrition supervisor, four SPPG related to suspected\npoisoning cases in the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, and three\nothers due to inadequate facilities. According to her, for the four\nkitchens suspected in the poisoning cases, laboratory test results on\nfood samples have been submitted to BGN headquarters for further\nanalysis. \u201cWe have sent the laboratory test results to the centre, but\nthey are still in the analysis stage, so we cannot disclose them yet,\u201d\nshe said. BGN, she continued, requires all suspended kitchens to conduct\na comprehensive evaluation of SOP implementation, including improvements\nto facilities and infrastructure in line with recommendations from the\nlocal Health Department. Additionally, BGN is evaluating the quality of\nMBG distribution during Ramadan, which had been complained about by the\npublic. \u201cPrevious incidents are being used as material for evaluation to\nimprove menu quality, facilities and infrastructure, and human resources\nmoving forward,\u201d she said. Sebrina added that in 2025, BGN will focus on\nexpanding the number of SPPG kitchens, while in 2026, it will aim to\nenhance overall service quality.<\/p>",
