        "summary": "The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has clarified a viral video claiming the procurement of 70,000 electric motorcycles for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme in West Java, stating that only 21,801 units were actually procured in 2025 to support operational heads of nutrition service units nationwide, with distribution pending administrative processes. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa noted that similar budget requests for vehicles and computers were previously rejected, and he plans to verify the current procurement. This addresses misinformation while highlighting the government's commitment to the MBG initiative without including insects in menus or raising subsidised fuel prices in 2026.",
