The menu served\nin the MBG programme at that time included soy sauce noodles, omelette,\nmilk, and fruit. \u201cOn that night and the following morning, the child\u2019s\nparents provided additional food in the form of apples and formula milk\npurchased independently, outside the MBG programme,\u201d Nanik said.\nSymptoms only appeared two days later, specifically on 16 April 2026,\nwhen the toddler began vomiting. Nanik noted that out of the total 2,174\nbeneficiaries who received MBG on 14 April 2026, not a single one\nexperienced digestive disturbances. \u201cThis serves as an indicator that\nthe food distributed was in safe and consumable condition,\u201d she\nstressed. On Wednesday, 15 April 2026, the child did not consume MBG\nbecause they refused to eat. Symptoms then appeared on Thursday, 16\nApril 2026, around 06:00 WIB, in the form of vomiting and diarrhoea. BGN\nconveyed deep condolences over the passing of the 3B beneficiary. \u201cWe\nextend our deepest condolences over the passing of child M. Abdul Bais.\nMay the bereaved family be granted strength and fortitude,\u201d Nanik\nstated. \u201cI, as the parent of Abdul Bais, state that my child\u2019s death was\npurely due to illness. It has no connection to the MBG kitchen at SPPG\nSukasirna 02 Leles,\u201d the parent said.<\/p>",
