        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Nutrition Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG)\nKemayoran Harapan Mulia 1 in Central Jakarta continues to improve the\nquality of the Free Nutritious Meal Programme (MBG) by providing labels\non meal containers indicating the best consumption time. \u201cWe have also\nrecommended labelling on the containers so that the food is consumed at\nmost within three hours,\u201d said the Head of SPPG Kemayoran Harapan Mulia\n1, Fakhri Irfan Pribadi, in Jakarta on Tuesday. On the first day of MBG\noperations resuming after the Eid holiday in 2026, SPPG Kemayoran\nHarapan Mulia 1 served 3,298 beneficiaries, from school students to\npregnant women, nursing mothers, and toddlers. Today\u2019s menu consisted of\nnasi uduk, soy sauce chicken, green chilli tofu, stir-fried carrots and\ncorn, as well as watermelon. As part of improvement and evaluation\nefforts, SPPG Kemayoran Harapan Mulia 1 continues to enhance food\nquality, enrich menus to meet the nutritional adequacy standards for\nbeneficiaries, and maintain the hygiene of volunteers. \u201cFood safety, the\ncompetence of human resources or volunteers regarding food safety is\nalso continuously improved, along with nutrition education, evaluation\nrelated to waste processing and environmental cleanliness, as well as\nsanitation,\u201d said Fakhri. He also assured that the food has been\nsample-tested before being given to beneficiaries, including\norganoleptic testing or sensory evaluation using human senses to ensure\nthe colour, texture, taste, aroma, and form of the served food comply\nwith the standard operating procedures and technical guidelines of the\nNational Nutrition Agency (BGN). \u201cFor sample testing, usually before\ndistribution, there is organoleptic testing, which is conducted together\nwith the head of SPPG and nutrition experts, so before distribution to\nbeneficiaries, if in the organoleptic test there is an unpleasant smell,\ntexture, or aroma, it can be withdrawn so as not to be distributed,\u201d he\nexplained. To anticipate children with allergies, nutritionists from\nSPPG continue to coordinate with field assistants and schools to\nregister which students are vulnerable to certain types of food. \u201cSo we\nfirst record any allergies among the beneficiaries. For example, if they\npreviously did not like fish, that student is replaced with chicken,\u201d\nsaid Fakhri. \u201cPartners who wildly mark up prices and pressure the head\nof SPPG, nutrition supervisors, and financial supervisors will be\nrequested by the deputy for monitoring and supervision to be suspended\nwithout incentives, as it constitutes a serious violation,\u201d he said.\nNanik reminded again that the budget per MBG portion is Rp8,000-10,000.\nMark-up actions on raw materials not only harm the programme but also\nundermine the main objective of providing nutritional services to the\ncommunity. According to her, partners who have received incentives\nshould work according to the rules, not seek excessive profits.<\/p>",
